Recent update to Teams causes beeping in headset when on mute

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!

    Same here. Using SHOKZ for about a year without annoying beep. Work around is to go to device settings in teams meeting, then switch mic to pc / laptop and mute. Have to switch mic back in order to talk through headset. What a pain ! Microsoft needs to fix !

    I resorted to attending Teams meetings this morning via the web browser - just because of this annoyance. I confirmed that other coworkers are also seeing (hearing) the same issue.

    Same issue started for me today after 2 years of pandemic use. I'm using a Soul BT Headset with the MS teams application and while muted I get the periodic beep. To top it off the "Mute On", "Mute Off" notification in the headset is quite loud each time toggle the mic setting in Teams.

    I can find no option to revert this function in Teams.

    Same here. Using Shokz OpenComms. I have never had any issue like this. Zoom works fine, it's just Teams, and just updated to 1.5.00.10286
