System Tray Mute during Meeting -- New Teams on Desktop

When I switch to the new Teams, I seem to lose the ability to mute the mic via the system tray during a meeting.   Is there any way to regain this ability within the new Teams app? Currently I just revert to the old Teams. I find the system tray control very useful to retain control while working on other virtual desktops during meetings.

 

Thanks,

Jonah

    welcome to the Microsoft community, my name is Recep I'll be happy to help you today.

    I understand that you lose the ability to mute the mic via the system tray during a meeting.

    Please note that this could be a design change in the new app, but it's also possible that it's a bug. I would recommend reporting this issue through the Teams app so that Microsoft can investigate and potentially resolve it.

    In the meantime, you can use keyboard shortcuts to mute/unmute your mic in Teams. You can press `Ctrl+Shift+M` to toggle your mic on and off. Additionally, you can hold down `Ctrl+Spacebar` (Windows) or `Option+Spacebar` (Mac) to temporarily unmute yourself. When you release the key combination, your mic will be muted again. I hope this helps!
