Customizing 4-finger tap

Question

I want to change my 4-finger tap to mute, but when I hit 'Start Recording' on my Acer laptop, it shows the mute button as 'D'. How do I configure the tap gesture to mute?

My current process is Touchpad > Advanced Gestures > Configure Four-finger > Tap > Custom > Start Recording

Hello Ling Yan Tung,

Good to see you again in Microsoft Community.

I tried to reproduce the scenario you described and found the same problem, but I found an alternative.

You can install Microsoft-released PowerToys(Microsoft PowerToys - Microsoft Store Apps) in the Microsoft Store, which has the globally muted shortcut enabled, and you can map that shortcut in your 4-finger tap custom settings in Windows Settings. Visit PowerToys Video Conference Mute utility for Windows | Microsoft Learn for more details.

If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.
