Microphone not working in Microsoft Teams (free)

Question

Since a few days ago, when I join a Microsoft Teams meeting / call, the other attendees cannot hear me even though I'm not on mute. I have tried logging off and on again, and also uninstalling and reinstalling the app - but these do not work. I have checked that this is only a problem with Teams - my laptop microphone is working fine on other apps. I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 7.

It is not an issue with my Microsoft Team account settings it seems, as it works fine on my Macbook.

Deleted&nbsp;Nothing has worked, thank you for your advice though.&nbsp;I have also created a new user account on the same computer - and downloaded Teams onto that profile - and the problem still occurs.&nbsp;&nbsp;So it seems to be an issue with the computer's built-in&nbsp;microphone not working with Teams (yet the computer's microphone works on other apps when I test it).&nbsp;To confirm this deduction, I have tried plugging in an external microphone and it works fine with Teams.&nbsp;Any thoughts what to try next?

Please check teams settings in detail in your user profile settings and settings I have no other ideas.

I still remembered that the same consent you have to accept for your browser or the default for you is EDGE? and if you are using a VPN, turn it off in this connection. I'm curious about your answer!
