Problems Joining meetings, keeps asking for phone permission on android tablet
Hello, i've got a Galaxy tab A 8" (2019) and was using it with teams for my kid, now it doesn't let my kid to join his school clases asking for a phone permission and the permision is already granted, ive already cleared cache, cleared all data an re-login, i've even reset to factory setings the tablet with no luck.
I don't know what else to try to make it work, i've tried with other device (amazon fire tablet, and other samsung tab A6 2016) and works ok.
Any idea what else to do?
Kind Regards
- I've installed the version released on November 17 and it worked properly fortunately.
It's a good news after almost 15 days

kurzs go to playstore and remove urself from beta testers. this issue is in Beta version sent you ur playstore and installed. Once you will remove urself and then uninstall the downloaded version. In next 5-10 min after in playstore u will get older version - public version and the issue will be resolved.
- It worked. As suggested, I removed myself from beta program at the Google Play Store application but reinstalled "just too fast", it didn't worked.
But I read about waiting 12h, so i've waited just 1h or 2h, reinstalled and I've recovered again the ability to connect to a Microsoft Teams Meeting again from my Android device. I confirm symptoms on my side (Always asks for phone permission with that beta version, unable to join to any meetings). Rupesh2210 Did not fix teh issue completely. Still there however I was able to pick up a transferred call. Still can not imitate a new call.
Upon receiving the request for permission - press cancel. the call should work for you. simple bug. it'll work for pre scheduled meetings only (in some cases). I wish i could help you more 🙂
- Sorry, doesnt help me... 😞 It is not just about answer a call. Its about Joining a scheduled meeting or use Meet Now. Every interaction like this still bring up the question about Permissions...
- Same problem on my S20 Ultra it worked fine in beta as well as non-beta till the end of october. Since then no audio conversation is possible. Very annoying...
Having the same problem on version: 1416/1.0.0.2022412701 on MIUI 13.0.6 (Android version:12 SKQ1.211006.001
I have tried clear cache and all data, same issue
Now it is November 7, can someone from Microsoft please confirm that you work to solve this problem? For me it still doesnt work on my Samsung Android mobile and that is very frustrating...
- I'm having the same issue on my Google pixel 6 pro, very frustrating that Microsoft is not acknowledging this.
Happening also to a bunch of my coworkers with android Same issue on Samsung S20, was on beta, after leaving no solution.
This has worked for me:
--> left Beta
--> uninstall
--> waited for 2 hours
--> installed the non beta verson
Working again
- I did similar and it worked for me:
1. Clear cache AND storage (probably unnecessary)
2. Uninstall
3. Leave beta
4. I waited roughly 12hrs
5. Reinstalled latest standard release from Play Store
6. Fixed (Phone permission not even needed when working normally)
Clearly this was a beta issue and leaving a beta program doesn't take immediate effect. Lesson learnt.- I had success following the same path but only waited one or two. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, back on track now.
kurzs Tried beta and non-beta reinstalls to no avail. Then I did the beta install BUT before I opened it the first time I went in application settings and gave it all the permissions its suppose to have. Then I opened the app and it worked again.
This resolved the issue for me! Thank you for the suggestion!!
Started to face this issue on 7th November followed steps but still facing issue any other workarounds?
- I downgraded to the teams that came out in early September. It works now. Microsoft needs to fix this.
This way worked for memtanenhaus
I am also having the same issue. Tried leaving beta and installing older version, nothing works. Google Pixel 7 Pro. Used to work just fine.
I also have this exact same problem since the November 1st update (my current version is 1416/1.0.0.2022412701/1030 with Calling version being 2022.40.01.7) on a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G.
I just used the Send feedback option which can be found in Settings > Help and feedback > Send feedback to inform Microsoft of this problem. I think we should all do this in addition to this forum post.
In addition to the fact it's not working, it would be good for Microsoft to explain the reasons behind these extra permissions:
- Nearby devices for use with a Bluetooth headset => it worked perfectly fine without this permission before, why is this now necessary?
- Phone permission for joining an "over IP" meeting => why would it need permission to make direct phone calls?
