Teams Video call continues with screen Locked

If we run a Teams video call and a participant locks their machine, the video and audio continues to work from that machine?
 
Is this expected behaviour?
 
I would assume that most users will assume that locking the machine disables an in-flight video call but it appears this is not the case. 
 
Anyone know if this behaviour can be disabled/changed??

    Turn off video when the workstation is locked · Community (microsoft.com)

    Would recommend voting up on it. I have voted on it and the old one on uservoice before that was retired. It's really kind of essential moving forward - and it's kind of criminal after 3 or so years. Until that time users will need to be vigilant and always ensure video and audio are off before locking the machine if they need to move away from it

    Hope that answers your question

    Best, Chris
