Phone call is put on hold when receiving Teams chat message

Hi,

Not sure if this is a Teams problem or Android 11?

When on a regular call (not through Teams) and I receive a chat message via Teams , my ongoing phone call is put on hold...

I've recently updated to Android 11 on my Galaxy Note 10+

    This is happening to me now as well. I've removed all Microsoft apps and the account from the accounts section of my phone and it's still happening if I make a Teams call. The real world issues is that I'm waiting on hold for hours to get through to a representative at a company and I'd like to be able to not have Teams throw it on hold. I've missed the representative once already because they answered while I was in a Teams meeting that I didn't even need to be talking on. I have a Google Pixel 4a.

    I have the same exact thing happen to me. When I receive an Outlook Email notification on my PC, my phone (Samsung S20) will put the call on hold and the "resume call" option pops up on my phone.  My Phone and PC are both connected with a bluetooth headset so the issue is caused over the bluetooth link. 

     

    I just changed my Teams notifications style to "Windows" as you suggested, I'll let you know if it solves the issue.

      Wim_Groffils I have the exact same issue and this has not solved the issue. It happens when I get an email notification, a teams notification or any dialogue box appears.
  • Am facing the same issue with my work laptop, call goes on hold when I receive a pop up notification such as email alert or chat message etc. Please suggest a solution if anyone knows the fix.
