When to mute a video
Remove the sound when it carries private conversations, background noise or copyrighted music that could get the post blocked, or when you plan to add a voiceover or a new soundtrack. The picture is not changed.
Most social feeds autoplay videos muted anyway, so add captions or on-screen text to make sure your message still comes across without sound.

- Simple one-step operation for non-editors.

Frequently asked questions
No - only the audio track is removed; the visual video quality is unchanged.

Slightly - removing the audio track reduces file size somewhat, though the video track itself (usually the larger component) is unaffected.
To remove background conversations, traffic noise or copyrighted music that could get the video blocked, before adding your own soundtrack or captions.
Usually not. When the video is already in an MP4-friendly format such as H.264, the picture is copied as it is and only the audio track is dropped, so quality does not change. Other formats may be converted to MP4 along the way.
Yes - most feeds autoplay video without sound anyway, which is why captions on screen matter. A muted file also avoids music copyright checks.
