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.
I emailed Shokz support and they are going to send me a "UC dongle" also called the Loop 100. I hope that fixes it. Until then I'm doing what other folks have mentioned: using my laptop microphone as input and using my headset in headphones mode as output.
Wondering if the Loop 100 UC dongle worked for you?
Thank you.
I tried changing these settings this morning, and Teams was still connecting to my OpenComm just like before. It's odd and puzzling.
Temporary work around that allows the mic to work also:
While in Teams meeting:
Open Sound Settings - Select Sound Control Panel - Select the "Recording" tab - Highlight the OpenComm by AfterShoks Headset - Click Properties -
Select the levels tab - Mute using the Teams mic button -
You will notice that the speaker button on the levels tab is now muted. Unmute using that speaker button. The Teams button still stays muted but the beeping stops. During this call you can now use the Teams mic button to mute and unmute like normal.
I've gone to leaving the Headset Properties up with the levels tab open. In each new call, you'll need to toggle the speaker button to make the beeping stop until the vendors figure it out.
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.
