Game wont let me appear offline in Steam, Voice chat wont mute other pc players

Hello Reader,

I use discord to chat with friends, we all know in game voice chat is terrible, and you can barely hear teammates with the in game VOIP.

I also have some console friends that I play with sometimes, and due to that we are forced to use game chat with them. I cannot mute my other teammate on PC, and his voice echo's so we are forced to talk via in game VOIP chat which isn't the greatest. please fix the mute button so it actually works if I have someone in a discord call I would rather not hear them in game.

I have also noticed there is no way to appear offline in Apex Legends via Steam. I don't like the fact that I am forced to stay online getting multiple invites from people I know. I wanna solo queue, and its kind of disrespectful telling an in person friend who just simply isn't as good as you that you would prefer to play alone. I would like to avoid the situation where someone's feelings are getting hurt for no reason. can someone please make an update or just tell me how I'm dumb and haven't noticed how I can appear offline. I have tried appearing invisible on steam, going through game settings, friends list in game trying to find a way to appear offline, and it simply doesn't seem to be an option via steam unless you use Origin.

I would appreciate some feedback to this issue as I find it unreasonable not to allow players to appear offline via steam.

Platform: PC

Thank you
