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.

    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.

    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

    This does not address the issue at all. Many of these Microsoft answers do the same thing. Barely address part of the problem and then move on.

    Make use of headphones.

    This error happens because of background noise. The mic senses that you want to speak and informs you that you are muted.

    Alternatively move to a very quiet room
