Hi lordneeko,

 

Thank you for this well-structured feature request! This is a valid and important gap in the current Teams + Android Auto experience.

 

You are correct that Microsoft Teams on Android Auto currently operates in a limited mode. The Android Auto platform has specific APIs (CarAppExtender and notification-based controls) that apps must implement to surface media/call controls on the vehicle's head unit. At the moment, Teams does not fully implement the CarConnectionManager or the in-call notification actions required to expose Mute/Unmute buttons on the Android Auto UI.

 

To help push this forward, I strongly recommend submitting this as official product feedback through the Microsoft Feedback Portal:

In the meantime, as a workaround, some users have had partial success using Teams together with Bluetooth headsets that have hardware mute buttons, which can intercept the audio stream independently of the Android Auto interface.

 

This is a great safety-focused request and I hope the Teams product team prioritizes it. Upvoting and sharing the feedback link will help get visibility!
