How to add a button in screen in Godot 4?

Help
1

In my game, I start the gameplay after clicking the left mouse button:

		if event is InputEventMouseButton:
			if event.button_index == MOUSE_BUTTON_LEFT and event.pressed:
				if game_running == false:
					start_game()

But I would like to add a mute button to the main screen. But when you add such a button, when you click on it, the gameplay begins. How can I fix this?

Do you use _input(evt) or _unhandled_input(evt)?

Could you use button nodes as children of either a control node or a canvas layer node? You can use signals from the button to detect if it has been pressed. You can also use a shortcut, so the button is pressed if you press a key. See the keyboard shortcut section for more information.

Yes, I was thinking of using this method, but I can’t start the gameplay properly because of this part of the script. I wrote my project based on a tutorial from Youtube(https://youtu.be/9f9t9eiCDAA?si=X1wTH9BxsWV2Bh5q ). I hope this will help in solving my problem.
