Seems there is an issue with current MS Teams version. According to Jabra support, MS would probably come with a new version, but they are not sure about the timeline.

Are you referring to the commercial version of Teams (which you use with co-workers) or the "Friends and Family" version that comes bundled with Windows 11 and can be installed on Windows 10? They are different but look the same for the most part. Both were broken in December but the commercial version was fixed in late January early February. The "Friends and Family" version remains broken. Panos Panay has aggressively pushed using the "Friends and Family" version of Teams in his presentations. Microsoft even created a "Certified for Teams" accessory program that clearly does not apply to its own products. Don't get me wrong, I want them to succeed as I have worked in IT for 30 years going back to mainframe days. Now I work in the semiconductor industry. It appears to many in the industry that Microsoft is more a commercial focused company these days and I get why. I am writing this message on a Surface Duo 2 which is also not without a dozen aggravating small issues that could be fixed with a light lift. Sorry for the rant, I am a Microsoft fan, just want them to be a customer fan as well.

Icebugz, sorry to have not been more specific. I was speaking about the Work or School version of Teams. I have not tested on the Friends & Family version although I do also use F&F and have been happy about some of the recent meeting scheduling UI enhancements.
