Recent update to Teams causes beeping in headset when on mute

Anonymous

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!

    PLEASE remove this "feature", everybody including me hates this beeping noise. Just remove it, it is not useful. Or at least make it configurable

    Hi,

    This did not work for me. I have sennheiser HD 350BT. This is a Microsoft teams issue, It can't be a hardware issue , since it does not happen on zoom (just tested it). For now I will switch to the web browser teams until they fix it or just revert to zoom for meetings.

    I have the same issue and fortunately have a Jabra Link. Your method worked well. Thanks a lot! - Update: The Jabra Link works only well with Jabra products. My Aftershokz only worked well one time and didn't in the second place. So, this can not be a solution.

    Just to add my voice to this, I just started having this issue today with my OpenComms. Been using them fine for months with Teams. Pretty frustrating.
