Thank you for your feedback. This feature is still on the backlog, and planned for later this year.
In the meantime, you can try using the keyboard shortcut to toggle mute (Ctrl+Shift+M). For more info on keyboard shortcuts, visit https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/keyboard-shortcuts-for-microsoft-teams-2e8e2a70-e8d8-4a19-949b-4c36dd5292d2.

On windows you also can't change the Keyboard shortcut and also the shortcut doesn't work even when meeting window is open

Mac user here: Since it is not a native app, I cannot even change the shortcut to Mute/Unmute. Which is pretty sad. So much for electron being detrimental for the entire user experience.

Can we get Push to Talk, and Push to Mute as well? I.e. the ability to momentarily mute myself by pushing a user selected key. The ability to push the space bar to mute myself for a second if I needed to cough or sneeze would be great!

This was planned for "later this year" last year. Any ETA on this common and popular feature from every other voice chat application (that is even available on the mobile app)?

@alex, using the keyboard shortcut is unacceptable. Push to talk is a basic feature that many voice communication programs have had built-in baseline for a LONG time. See mumble, teamspeak, ventrilo, and the recent discord. Honestly why Microsoft is not looking at the chat and voice options of dicord for ideas is beyond me. right now when someone asks me what solution to use I want to tell them teams but it is missing BASIC functions.

Ever since I discovered the "spacebar push-to-talk" feature in Zoom, it is one of my favourite functions and I use it every time I'm on a Zoom call. Teams really needs this!
This has been "On the backlog" since Jun of 2020. This is a low effort, high-value feature. Shouldn't be too difficult to put it into place quickly.
Bonus points if we can add an external hardware device (Bluetooth or USB) that can control the MS Teams mute function kind of like the mute button/red light on the Polycom conference room phones.

This is really very needed and urgent feature, especially during working from home, most of the time, one forget to mute the microphone and people in the meeting might hear ??!!!
