Till now this option is not implemented. ????.Tplink what you're doing.

@tplink look how many people is asking the same. Come on guys!

Its incredible this is not a feature. I have shared cameras in key locations but cant have a private conversation anywhere near them.

Edit: Also made an account just to complain. Come on Tp-link!

I agree that we need to have an option to disable mic. For now, I just taped the mic hole on my C510W to at least reduce the audio quality it receives.

TP-Link is not user friendly. Imagine their C510W version 1 had 4 video quality options(360p, 720p, 1080p, 2k) and I bought another C510W which is version 2 but it only has 2 video quality options(720p, 2k). Seems like their latest versions of CCTV are lower quality than the previous versions.

Absolutely ridiculous that TP-Link and Tapo have not made a privacy feature to disable microphone control for shared devices. It doesn't even require hardware changes, only software, but Tapo refuses to listen to the 5 page thread of numerous people asking for the same thing. 

I'm now in the process of disassembling the C210 camera to unplug or desolder the microphone from the chipset. I don't know which one it is yet. I will hopefully update in the near future. 

  @JasonBrown was it easy to disability the microphone by opening the camera? Did you just unsoldered it?

I would really appreciate a software solution for this.

But TP link just ignores it's customers 

Hi Tapo,

im an IT admin for my mosque and I need to be able to disable the live audio from the cameras as this can lead to lead to unnecessary eavesdropping on private conversations or violate the rights of worshippers by the members who I have shared the cameras with.
 

There must be a setting to disable certain features I have shared with the accounts and live audio is a critical one. 
 

i have the c200 but imagine that all of your cameras have the same UI.
