What do you use your Action Button for? (self.apple_enthusiast)

Currently I just have mine set up for camera because I went on holiday and it was used more often. Now that I'm back working I don't need the camera nearly as much and was wondering what's a more useful setup for Action Button?

I have long used the double back tap to run a shortcut to set the media volume to 0 and switched it to the action button. I work in video production which involves long hours of sitting around and moments where absolute silence is crucial. This was I confirm a video isn’t going to loudly announce itself in the middle of a take. It’s also just generally useful in public.
