I really want an 'Alexa, stop listenting' command. There's a button on the top that mutes the mic and puts a red ring around them, but when I have people over, it's not a great environment to use voice commands anyways.

'Everyone be quite so I can shout across the room to change my music'

A workaround would be to mute the device itself, and then use the remote (which has its own mic, and works well in noisy environments since you just hold it closer to your mouth).

but then I just have to carry a remote while I'm having a party.

It's not a bad idea. If you're hosting, it lets you change the music without interrupting your guests.
