Been using Teams since the start of lockdown with a headset. As of today I am getting a double-beep at about five second intervals (like a hold beep) in the headset when I am muted. This has not happened before and been using same headset for months.
Also note that when I mute / unmute in Teams, the headset now announces "mute on" and "mute off" to me.
This feels like a Teams update has created this "feature" - please turn it off!
Managing sound and video settings during Teams meetings and calls for optimal communication

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It Works! I can't believe it! The Setting is in Teams.
Then I get a message in Teams that the mic isn't working and it can't pick up audio. I can hear fine through the headset and it no longer beeps on mute, but the mic doesn't work. Verified that the OpenComm mic is still showing as the device in use in Teams. Tried with both the desktop apps toggle and the MS Store apps option.
So unless I'm doing something wrong, YMMV.
The beeping will actually come back after you unmute to talk and then mute yourself again. Turning them off and then on again does resolve the issue until you need to talk. Then to turn it off again, you have to repeat. It isnt fun.
Thanks Ryan - So far it looks like there are only two kinds of work around - your solution and using Web version of Teams.
Yes it worked great for calls but the dongle does not support Bluetooth headphones mode, only headset. If you're only taking calls then it's perfect. However I like to listen to music when not on calls but that's not possible with the dongle. If I wanted to use the dongle, I would have had to use a 2nd set of headphones just for music.
What I love about the OpenComm is that they can seamlessly play music using Bluetooth Headphones mode and then switch to Headset mode as soon as a call started, then switch back as soon as it was over. Headphones mode allows for hi-fi audio because there is no need to support an audio channel for the microphone. It's great and worked fine for years.
I'm no longer using the dongle and set up teams to use my webcam's microphone for input and OpenComm for audio output.
Teams is so broken.
