I actually like how Zoom can warn you that you're muted if you start talking, happens to me all the time. And that obviously wouldn't be possible without keeping the access to the mic. So the light being on is OK for me. However continuing to stream the sound to the server is a huge problem, if it's really what's happening - but we can't confirm that without knowing which app is in question...

Your not muted at an operating system level, your muted at an application level when you hit the zoom mute button.

I have a switch on my headset I use to mute at a hardware level on top of the software mute button.
