Mute/unmute hotkey stopped working in main windows during presentation

PeterRising While running Teams as a web application under Edge, there is a new hotkey in Microsoft Edge that is in conflict, which might prevent the mute from happening. There is a conversation happening here about this: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum/all/teams-mute-shortcut-conflicts-with-microsoft-edge/fd6fd5d9-e471-4ce4-b985-2cc062df700b
- Tom_F73Jun 16, 2021Copper ContributorThank you PeterRising for getting back to me about this. With quickly browsing through that information, I don't think, this applies to my issue:
- I am not using Teams on Edge (using the Windows App).
- The shortcut is working for me, when the focus is on the call window, but stopped working, when the focus is on the main application window.

PeterRising they are still working, when the OS focus is on the call window. But they stopped working when the OS focus is on the main window (with the chats and stuff).
We are doing online daily stand-ups where colleagues post their summaries up-front in a Teams channel. Then I present the posts and people explain them. There I used the hotkey to mute/unmute myself. This is not working anymore. 😞- PeterRisingMay 20, 2021MVP
Oh I see. When you switch from the meeting window it doesn't work. I just tried the same and I have the same behaviour as you are seeing. And you definitely were able to do this previously? I don't particularly recall this being possible.
- Tom_F73May 21, 2021Copper ContributorYes PeterRising, I was using that on a daily basis, so I can definitely confirm that this did work before. And I am really missing it. 😞
