I agree that this is annoying bug. I've been able to avoid Microsoft Teams for most of this year by using Zoom. However, yesterday I was forced back into a MS teams meeting. I've tried every work around suggested in this discussion. Yet, yesterday after reinstalling the MS teams app (which was recommended to access features being used in the meeting), the app assumed I had a microphone headset and turned the microphone input down accordingly. The only way I could be heard was to have my mouth a 1/2 inch away from the internal microphone on my notebook. Once I uninstalled the teams app and went back to using a browser the microphone worked normally. This happens with Windows 10 on a Thinkpad T430.
