How to remove sound from video in Windows 10 using Photos app.

Recently I uploaded a video to YouTube and much to my surprise there was a copyright claim.

I investigated and found the video had music in the background. The video was made from a dashcam video and the car radio had been playing. Didn't even notice there was music in the background.

Deleted the video and edited the video to remove the sound. I didn't know how to do this so I checked the internet. There were many suggestions such as using other products, but I couldn't help feeling the Windows 10 Photos app should be able to do something I'd consider fairly basic.

I found a few options relating to sounds, but then I right clicked on the video and found a Volume option. On the video itself is a speaker, so I decided to click on the speaker. It turned out I could mute the sound which I did and saved the video. Excellent. The sound and thus the music was gone. Just what I wanted.

The video can be seen at https://youtu.be/ZYNhIRB4giU

I hope this tip helps others.
