ANOTHER IMPORTANT UPDATE: MindeaLLC, we have discovered that the issue only occurs for "Guest" users in Teams. Users that are native to the Azure tenant do not see this issue.

Since I have both a native and a guest account on Teams, I was able to test this issue, as shown below.

Thanks for pointing out this detail, mmmoore2288 and I have now confirmed your finding.

I am an IT consultant and as such am a Guest on all my clients' Teams. I have brought hundreds of users to Teams but now can't enjoy this simple feature.

It's annoying that this has suddenly popped up. I hope Microsoft adds an adjustable setting for this in the near future.

  I have the exact same issue as a guest user on another companys tenant. Also started just very recently (end og august). Suuuper annoying I totally agree!

    Same for me having a guest account at Microsoft. I've asked the Teams team about it and will update if/when I get a response.
