    Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

    To help narrow down the issue:

    1. Could you let me know where you’re using Teams (for example, on Windows, Mac, or mobile)? Also, does the issue continue even after restarting your device?

    It would also help to check if the same problem happens when you try using the Microsoft Teams web version in a browser, this can tell us if it’s the app itself or something with the system.

    Let me know how it goes.

    What exactly is the name of the device you see selected as Microphone in Teams -> Settings -> Devices?

    Is the microphone working in any other applications?
