The "Bradner method" has long functioned for this. The Chair (or AD)
walks up to a microphone and taps it until the speaker stops using
the microphone.
It requires the Chair be willing to do this, but so does a switch.
We have the technology (such as it were), what we perhaps need is the
Chairs to be empowered, or cognizant of this sort of requirement.
