This is a case where I think the indicator (LED in real world) should be separate from the button, which label does not have to change.

Should the LED indicate mute on or mic on? I could see it both ways, and so I would also have a hard time trusting this UI at first.

Should be a text label in present tense not (or not only) an "LED". I like radio buttons but something equally unambiguous could also work.

Amen on radio buttons. It's been really challenging to get UX people in my companies to use these for some reason.

This takes up a lot more space, but I like how absolutely unambiguous it is.

It should have a label saying "recording" or something to that effect. I don't know microphone terminology, maybe it's "picking up".
With a label, a light indicator is unambiguous.
