Disconnect USB Microphone

[Sven74Muc]

I do love Element! :-) Maybe someone can help me finding the right setup.

I have a Macbook and connected my USB microphone as the input device. When I run into a meeting room I disconnect my Macbook and under input device there is none shown. If I reconnect the Macbooc the microphone will be reconnected automaticaly. This is phantastic!!!

So the Macbook is switching from USB mic to none forward and backward. Is there a posibility that it will switch from USB mic to internal mic forward and backward?

There is a way that could be done. 1) pick an os-selected device on disconnect or 2) pick a user defined fallback. Both of those need some new code. Not a bad feature idea :)

Wo is able to write this code and can place it in an update :-)

...I would go for 2) because this is more flexible aand independent from the OS (maybe you need in the OS other settings)

[Sven74Muc]

In "preferences >> default" there is a point "default new session". Below this there could be a point "default mic". :-) What do you think?

...unfortunately I am not a programmer at all, so I can not help to build it.

@mfisher31 Are you thinking about bringing it into the next update?

[mfisher31]

Depends on what you mean by "next" :) It's a good feature idea though, and I would like to do this at some point.
