Media Keys and Teams notifications
- Hi graemec5
Known issue, as raised here on uservoice
https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/39956326-media-keys-affecting-teams-web-app
If you go to that uservoice, a few comments down you should see a solution to this: go to avatar > settings > permissions > turn off midi device. People have reported that it has solved it for them
Hope this resolves and answers your question
Best, Chris
Tpolz Wow interesting. Yep, just tried it and it worked for me. Sort of. At first I tried left ctrl+play and it didn't work (it played the Teams call sound). So I did left ctrl+play again to turn that sound off. Then I tried right ctrl+play and it played my spotify music. Huzzah!
So then I tried left ctrl+play again and this time it played spotify. WTF is going on.
Nice find, btw.
ducklaw99 I think what you experienced what I've experienced for the past year+, and it has nothing to do with pressing Ctrl. Previously, I would press play, and the Teams notification would sound. If I then waited for that sound to finish, and hit play again, the music would start. That worked regardless of pressing Ctrl (or any other modifier key). The new problem I've experienced is Teams hijacking the play button completely so nothing plays, not even the Teams notification.
