PowerToys v0.33.1 is now available with several changes and improvements. The development team has also promised to deliver a 0.34 experimental release next week that will bring in the Video Conference utility. "We feel we are near ready to add in Video Conference mute into the stable release pending feedback from the pending 0.34 experimental release," Microsoft writes.
Here is the complete changelog of PowerToys v0.33.1
