The guide was created after a writer and reviewer of Wired, Louryn Strampe, posted a tweet, calling out those who still don't know how to mute their mics automatically.

How to automatically mute yourself during Zoom meeting?
To automatically mute your mic, you need to tap the settings wheel, which is located in the upper right corner of the Zoom app to access your account settings. Once you access your account, you need to choose the "Audio" option, which is located in the sidebar on the left, then you need to click "Mute my microphone when joining a meeting" option.
However, there will still be a problem of you will forget to mute yourself again after you unmuted your mic to speak during the meeting. You can avoid this by checking the option "Press and hold SPACE key to unmute yourself temporarily, which is similar to the "push-to-talk" feature. This can be applied if you're using a laptop or a personal computer with a space bar that you can press to speak; you'll be automatically muted once you release the space bar.
The usual host of Zoom meetings can also auto-mute the mics of the participants. You can also do this by going into your account settings and then choosing the option "Mute participants upon entry." The host can also choose the individuals they will allow to talk.
