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
Best, Chris
Teams started hijacking my media keys a few days ago (specifically the play/pause button). Instead of playing the call notification sound (like it did for the past year), nothing happens now. Close Teams, and play button actually plays my music.
However, I noticed something interesting, If I press Ctrl+Play or Shift+Play (and maybe other modifier keys), my music plays and Teams ignores it. This doesn't fix the problem, I have to press Ctrl+Play every time. However, if this continues I'm going to setup AutoHotKey to change Play/Pause to Ctrl+Play/Pause permanently.
Can anyone else replicate my finding? Additional detail, I play music using YouTube Music in Chrome.
