Add an option to disable auto-adjusting mic level
When on the call the Teams will automatically adjust the mic sensitivity level. I want it to stay at the same level. It's really annoying as it picks up background sounds when not talking. Also, it doesn't readjust it after the call, so i.e. if I had set level 50% before the call the Teams will readjust it to 80% and it will stay at 80% after the call has ended. This forces me to keep manually adjusting the mic level. It's a minor thing, but really infuriating. Would be really great, to just have a checkbox to disable mic level adjusting.

This is so annoying, it makes the app unusable, which would be fine, except I need to use it for work...

Please add an option in Teams to DISABLE mic volume auto adjustment. This bug makes it impossible to use Teams for work.

This is extremely annoying. I cannot use my external mic anymore (RODE NT-USB Mini). Teams automagically reduces the volume to zero. Please fix it.

Being on lockdown in a room with my wife, and pushing mic sensitivity back so that the meeting members don't have to listen to her typing oh her laptop 5 meters away only to see that Teams will push it right back so that they can not only her hear typing but her breathing as well. Very frustrating, it needs the option to disable this behaviour.

It seems they have tried to fix this and actually MADE IT WORSE. Now, instead of the app turning the gain gradually up, it now turns it to zero. Meaning your mic doesn't work at all. This is a major bug and needs to be fixed ASAP.

I can't agree more. It's a basic feature to disable the auto gain in other tools like Webex. Lack of this gain control in Teams is a reason for me to use other

This is affecting me as well on macOS Catalina, with a Logitech BRIO webcam.

This is pretty infuriating when you get a nice microphone so that other people can hear you clearly and then Teams just screws around with the gain constantly like someone having a seizure. It just wiggles it back and forth and makes it sound like absolute garbage.

Auto-adjustment doesn't really work at all in most cases.
Having manual gain adjustment should be possible and even the default option. -

I faced the same issue with my mic. I faced the same thing when i was using Teams for online meetings, every time i set the mic to full, it would reduce to low

A new update must have introduced this issue for me as I was on Teams calls yesterday and the day before without any issue. Today, while on a Teams call, my mic gain is forced down to 0 with half-second intervals (it goes from 0 to X and back to 0 all the time), making it near impossible for my co-workers to hear me.
I fiddled with sound settings after the call and confirmed that my levels are set just fine when using other sofware like Discord and Hangouts. Then back on a Teams call with a colleague and the issue is there.

I can't believe that this is still a thing! It has been over 12 months - way too long to get this bug fixed. I hate being made to look unprofessional because my mic levels are wrong and it is Microsoft's fault.

I'm on a Mac and this came out of nowhere for me and I can't stand my volume going down to almost zero!
