    BradSP65 Reported corporately after demonstrating that the issue persists on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, with versions of Edge Browser going back a year, and every other chromium browser. With clean installs of MacOS and nothing else deployed to a machine other than the browsers. Up until the end of last month Teams web did not have this problem.  Demonstrated that at least firefox can have outgoing video with privacy. The code just does permit incoming video. All data points to a web teams app problem on MacOS. Nothing can be done to maintain privacy. The only work around is to disable privacy.

I've tried a blank new intel 12.4 install and the current stable, beta, dev channels of Edge and the problems persist. I've also tried the older versions of Edge, and the problems persist. So perhaps it is just the teams code. The dev channel being dev, web teams has many video issues. Guess the only answer is to move away from Microsoft Edge to use web Teams at present. Look forward to some one solving the incompatibility between Microsoft Edge and Microsoft web teams some time in the future for MacOS.

BradSP65 Unfortunately firefox is the only browser that now manages to function correctly with a background enabled with Teams web. Unfortunately it does not provide incoming video. Other Chromium browser such as Brave and Chrom have exactly the same problems with video and back ground effects. So other browsers are not an option. The only real solution is switching backwards and forwards to minimize the video and then maximizing it to get the video to display or simply disable your privacy and not have a background. No workable solution unfortunately.
