How do I prevent the "Your microphone is muted" message?

There is a previous issue with the same title but no solution seems to be in place.

During a meeting it is good practice to mute yourself unless you have to step into the conversation. When on mute this annoying message "Your microphone is muted" pops over and over again, blocking the view to participants and/or shared screen.

The proposed workarounds are not a practical solution since they imply to be fumbling around the devices settings again and again, so this is an issue I believe should be addressed as soon as possible. A simple banner in the interface with a crossed microphone would be far better than this and for sure far less anoying.

Thank you for your time.

    Over 18 months since first raised and also having this problem, noticed in last meeting that when I leave the microphone enabled and the meeting organizers use the mute all option I stopped getting the popup does this work for others or was it a one off fluke of luck

    Using the Teams app is not an option since everything MS app based returns an error linking to license so won't load and stuck with the online office 365 tools until the IT department reinstall laptop after Christmas.

    Yeah I get the exact same as Matt. I'm in the MacOS Teams app and I'm not even on Mute! Nothing changes if I mute or unmute via mouse or hotkeys.

    It sits in the way constantly, and is deeply annoying. We use zoom internally and I weep every time an external party insists on a Teams meeting for some imagined security benefit.

    Generally we receive this notification when we use headphone or external microphone. The best way to stop these notification is to use mute button on your laptop or system (in my laptop it's f8)

    Thanks. Not sure I'll be able to create a script like this without admin privileges but I'll give it a try. Seems ridiculous to me that we have to take steps like this when Microsoft should solve this problem!
