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.

    Hi,

    I muted my microphone (fn + F4) and the notifications stopped.

    Thank you so much David, pop-up screen is so annoying and this is the easiest way to bypass it

    Not a solution, merely a workaround (works for me in Teams through browser):

    Open the dev console, identify the div showing this annoying popup, hide it by adding custom style: display:none!important.

    I'm on a customer meeting and this muted message has appeared non-stop distracted me from the meeting. Microsoft - please design better. It is a meeting platform, so stop disrupting meetings. I know I'm muted because I purposely muted myself. Your message is hiding content from the meeting.

    Extremely Annoying and disturbing. If I talk to anyone or make a sound, while im staying mute in a teams call, it keeps popping up. And the msg is in passive voice ...your microphone is muted.

    Everytime makes me wonder if i forgot to mute by chance, and somebody muted me when my dog shouted. So un-intuitive of microsoft.
