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.

    That was my issue as well. Here were the steps I took:

    • I left the beta program on my personal profile
    • I uninstalled Teams on both my work and personal profiles
    • I waited for a few hours
    • I reinstalled Teams on both profiles
    • Both profiles are asked for permissions when 1st run
    • I granted permissions
    • Both are running fine.
