Media Keys and Teams notifications

Known issue, as raised here on uservoice
https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/39956326-media-keys-affecting-teams-web-app
If you go to that uservoice, a few comments down you should see a solution to this: go to avatar > settings > permissions > turn off midi device. People have reported that it has solved it for them
Hope this resolves and answers your question

dawust Hey, thank you very much for this tip. Seems to work fine.
BTW just use notepad++ with HEX-Editor Plugin to edit it.

MicrosoftI just tried it, and when I set that byte to 00, Teams won't launch until I change it back to 01 😞
What is the filepath of your Teams shortcut 'C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\Update.exe --processStart "Teams.exe"' or 'C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\current\Teams.exe'? The former one doesn't work for me either, maybe Update.exe verifies the checksum of Teams.exe. So could you just try to start Teams.exe instead if it isn't already the case.
- unionpAh yes, that was the issue, thanks!! Guess I just gotta change my shortcuts 🙂 Hope this helps someone else hitting the same issue!
- This one was the answer for me, I was still using the "update" file in the shortcut to open, no one said anything previously about having to change that for the hex editing option..
it's so completely like microsoft to break their application so badly
there is absolutely NO reason media keys should be enabled in Teams whatsoever, so having to delve so deeply to fix the option being forced-enabled for something that shouldn't exist as a "feature" is beyond me.
but yes, thanks very much now to all those who have commented prior to me, Dawust in particular for pointing out that you can in fact start Teams just via the Teams.exe 😄
microsoft, your support and business practices are so abhorent.
