A method and system for indicating voice input state for a call on a communications device being used by a user to communicate with a party during the call. A processor unit identifies the state of voice input for the call. In response to the state of the voice input state being a mute state, the processor unit identifies a first setting for the mute state. The first setting for the mute state specifies: (i) first conditions which must be satisfied during the call in order for the voice input state to be the mute state and (ii) a first type of audio to be played on the communications device during the call while the voice input state is the mute state, wherein the first conditions comprise a first type of the call and an identity of a first party to whom the user is communicating with during the call.
