How to hide the orange "privacy" dot on macOS Sonoma 14.4, or later

Nick

I've added a new "tips and tricks" article regarding the (now official) ability to hide the orange privacy dot that can appear in the top-right corner of external displays when an audio input device is being used (for example, recording with MixEmergency, or when using the audio input of Serato DJ Pro alongside MixEmergency).

The article can be found here: https://www.inklen.com/mixemergency/tips/hide-orange-dot

Nick sorry to jump on this, i was re-reading all the tips (to see and recheck if everything is ok on my side) and i believe that there is some info that is no longer relevant (or i missed something) :

on this https://www.inklen.com/mixemergency/tips/mixemergency-3-optimisation
you wrote
" You can check whether GPU-acceleration is being used for a video by opening the Info window of MixEmergency. This will list either "CPU", "GPU / Hap", or "GPU / H.264" as the method of decoding "

but when i open the info window there is nowhere this information.
the INFO window shows :
frames per second / video ram / output / pipeline / previews / refresh rate
size / buffer / back / for (x2)

also the "In the Advanced Preferences of MixEmergency, ensure that the preference "Enable GPU-Accelerated Video Decoding" is enabled (this is enabled by default)."
but this dosent exist anymore on the advanced preferences

Thanks. Some of those tips were written quite some time ago (that particular one related to MixEmergency 3.0.0, as listed at the bottom of the page). More recent versions of MixEmergency have had this preference (and display) removed. I may either update these, or add some notes regarding recent versions.
