ThomasSteibl Hello Thomas, I don't know if you're familiar with the Teams client update process, but this is how it works https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-client-update and could possibly explain the scenario you're describing.

 

I'm also on version 1.3.00.8663 and the problem for me is that my laptop is never idle 🙂 I have noticed a couple of times that functionality appear/reappear when doing a manual sign out/sign in, but that's just a general tip.

I would have hopened that a sign out from teams and restarting my computer would solve it. But it did not. ChristianBergstrom

    ThomasSteibl Hello Thomas, same here actually. But as I mentioned in the previous post it's going to happen in idle mode.

     

    "Teams desktop client updates are released every two weeks. If a critical update is required, Teams will bypass this schedule and release the update as soon as it’s available.

    The desktop client updates itself automatically. Teams checks for updates every few hours behind the scenes, downloads it, and then waits for the computer to be idle before silently installing the update.

     

    Users can also manually download updates by clicking Check for updates on the Profile drop-down menu on the top right of the app. If an update is available, it will be downloaded and silently installed when the computer is idle."
