Teams keeps microphone open

Teams 1.3.00.16851 (64 bits) on Ubuntu 20.04.1

Teams keeps using the microphone after a call is finished, but shouldn't it free the mic automatically as soon as the call is done? The only way I've found to free the mic is closing Teams.

    I'm having the same problem in Debian with both Skype and Teams please see the attached screenshots taken while using the latest Skype version.

    Same issue here, Jabra 65 Evolve2 and many other models. Teams keep using the headset after a call and if you have a secondary device (e.g. cellphone) connected via bluetooth, you cannot use it until MS Teams is closed from the tray bar.

    Is there any action from MS to solve this? I see it has been opened more than two years ago.

    Very annoying as it reduces call quality for other apps. Microsoft Teams Version 1.6.00.1381 (64-bit). Last updated on 03-Feb-23.

    Same happening to me - however having to use microsoft products at work bothers me more than this bug. I expect microsoft to have broken terrible software.
