rwoodsmall At this point I've given up. I honestly believe that Microsoft does not know how to fix this. Based on some of the things I've seen, I truly believe they have no clue as to what the underlying cause is. This is the result of writing software that has so many complexities and byzantine failure modes that they don't even understand their own app any more. I personally have just given up on trying to get them to fix it. If I could stop using Teams today, I would. At least it's on a company machine that I only use for work purposes, so I don't have to worry about it outside of that context. I understand that others don't have that luxury, so for you and them, I feel bad.
I can only agree. This is a serious security issue and needs to be fixed. Not "it's fixed now" and then nothing, actually fixed. I have decided to run a separate computer with Teams for the time being with a separate Webcam and Microphone (!)
