I have had issues in previous builds where after I mute and un mute myself a few times I can no longer do so. I have not yet tested this in 16.2.143

I also think the icon could be clearer to better indicate muted status

I started my own thread for this but then this thread was highlighted after posting. &nbsp;As of 16.3.240 every time I start a voice conversation my headset automatically mutes itself. &nbsp;Highly annoying!

I find the current microphone state reasonably intuitive and consistent. I would not like to see it change after all the effort some of us went to to get it to this state.&nbsp; The animated blue icon definitely indictaes a live mic and a black icon with the slash through it just likethe black video button says that I am muted. The mouse-over give text that says, imho, clearly what will happen when the button is clicked.

Overall no issue with seeing if one is muted or not. Only issue I see is that the "Your microphone is muted" is over part over screen sharing. So when muted one can not see what is shared at that area of the screen. Moving mouse over the window does not help then either cause it then shows the SfB buttons instead.

Also have had some issues where my headset would say muted but SfB stating I am not muted and other way around.

Mute works. If you have a headset with a mute button, the mute icon in teams does not change when you mute from the headset.
