Happens to me with only one meeting sometimes. I have to quit teams all together to have it shut off.
Why the Teams client keeps using the microphone after calls are finished? is it evesdropping?

Everytime I finish a call on Teams I need to fully the close the client because Teams client keeps using my microphone. Not sure if this is a simple bug or it is evesdropping what you say for I don't what reason.
The only workaround I found so far is to fully close the client after every call. Now that's quiet annoying. Is there a fix for this?

Kris Sweeney 16 Reputation points2022-12-09T10:21:05.237+00:00 I've started experiencing the same issue on version 1.5.00.31168 (64-bit), last updated on 03/12/2022 the behavior appears to occur primarily after joining a scheduled meeting another participant had started and where the meeting ended before the scheduled end time.
Teams keeps the microphone open despite clicking Leave before the last participant had left and closing the meeting window.
Switching devices in the settings panel swaps the open microphone connection to the new device closing the open microphone, switching the device back reverts the connection to the previous microphone.
Both microphones used have an indicator led when the microphone is in use.
Restarting Teams releases the microphone.

Peter Berkman 15 Reputation points2023-01-12T19:45:36.5466667+00:00 Same behavior! I'm using the Jabra Pro wired/usb headset and it shows that the call is still in progress even after the call is complete/hung-up. I have to completely exit out of Teams to have it reset.
Microsoft Teams Version 1.5.00.33362 (64-bit). It was last updated on 12/11/2022.

Sidney da Silva 5 Reputation points2023-01-24T14:07:11.93+00:00 Mine is 1.5.00.36367 and it has the same issue. Need to completely shutdown teams or reset my wireless headset to be able to use again.

BEGLARYAN, GOR 6 Reputation points2023-02-03T15:40:45.2766667+00:00 Same issue. I am using a Jabra Engage 75 headset and need to quit and restart teams after each meeting. Very frustrating. Others suggested initiating a Test-Call and closing it may help, I'll try that instead.
Sometimes when I reach for my external webcam (storing behind my screen) to use it in a video meeting, I notice the light is on. Again, quit/restart teams shuts it down (scratching head).

Dennis Laue 5 Reputation points2023-02-08T07:55:39.3466667+00:00 Same Issue here. Microsoft Teams Version 1.6.00.376 (64-Bit) from 08.02.2023.
Jabra Evolve 75 with Firmware 2.38.0 (Value Pack 2), Jabra Link 370 with Firmware 1.87.0
First i thought It's a problem with the headset, but I also tried this with other headsets. I can also close the call by using the echo call in the settings menu. I don't have the problem, when using the browser version of teams. -
