Keeps asking for Phone Permissions to join meetings

On Android, all of a sudden, Teams repeatedly says, "Teams Needs Permission" "If you want to place a call or join a meeting, go to settings and allow Phone permission to Teams."

It then takes you to Android Settings for the Teams app, and the "phone" permission IS allowed.

I've rebooted.

Cleared cache.

Cleared data

Reset the database.

Left developer preview.

Reinstalled Teams

Left the Beta and done all of the above over and over.

It isn't honoring the permissions that are set. So I can't join any meetings. Please advise.

    I have this same problem. I granted the app every possible permission but it still complains about missing phone permissions.

    Same problem. This appears to have occurred with an update to the app from Oct 26, downloaded to my phone 11/3.

    Greetings Arif,

    Thank you for the swift response. Those solutions don't work, however. The current version of Teams on Android does not have an "App Permissions" option//section anymore.

    The Android application will not honor granting permissions to the "Phone Settings = Allowed" for some reason. This started today.
