I love the idea of having me be on mute by default, and the only way I can speak is by pressing a button (like a walkie-talkie). Heard rumours about this being Ctrl + spacebar, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of details. Does anyone know?

I'm upvoting this because despite the "Keyboard Shortcuts" in-app showing the hotkey is ctrl+shift+M, it doesn't work. Nothing happens on Linux Mint. I'm voting for a working feature.

My keyboard has some shortcut buttons for playing music etc. but I don't need them. It would be great if I could define a global (!) shortcut to mute/unmute. Often, the teams meeting window is not in foreground and I have some other teams chat windows open. Then, it is very difficult to find the proper window and unmute. Having a global shortcut key would improve the situation.

yes. agree, shortcut needed. but as well, I had this jaw-dropping moment when I found out that my Jabra external speaker/mic with dedicated button for muting is not able to mute the mic ... I have seen there are many other complaining. its such a pity that basic features one would expect are not there ...
EDIT: it seems to work, the buttons on the JABRA device!!! -

It's common courtesy now for people to stay muted, and having to hunt for the UI button and click on it when doing just a short reply is unnecessary.<a ahref "https://terrariablog.com/">for more</a>

There should be parity for all platforms (including linux) for the ctrl+shift+m shortcut. Please add this missing feature to the client so it works like the Windows and Mac versions.

As already said, the shortcut for muting (Shift-Ctrl-M) does not work under Linux. Supposedly this applies to any other as well.
Also, less complicated shortcuts (like Alt-A, Alt-V for toggling audio, video in zoom) would be very much welcome (remember that even Mr. Gates nowadays considers Ctrl-Alt-Delete a mistake ;-)).

Agreed with the comments that this should be a GLOBAL shortcut. The shortcut already exists, but is not global.

In Teams in Linux Desktop App/ Linux Chrome Web App / Windows Chrome Web App the Mute Shortcut is not working as desired. Please fix this ASAP. Mute keyboard shortcut is working only in Windows Desktop App.

Every where its normal, but no Microsoft needs to make our life even more pathetic than it already is! Would it hurt to make the Mute/Unmute shortcut the SPACEBAR? My son several a times click the leave meeting or camera toggle icon and the teacher is angry at him for leaving the meeting or turning off the camera (Mind the fact he is only 6 years old!) then he apologizes as his little hand when clicks the mouse may make the pointer move a little and instead of the mute icon it clicks on the leave meeting or camera toggle icon. Who ever came up with the idea of keeping them both together! Probably someone who likes saying lots of excuses maybe. When they were on ZOOM life was simple but for some reason the school switched to TEAMS! Then I thought him that the space bar works to last command executed, but at times it changes screens, turns off the video, and things like those. Please Oh Please make the Mute/Unmute shortcut SPACEBAR, it would be a life saver for my son & many others like him.

Unreal a Video call software from Microsoft not having a quick Mute shortcut button

What do we have to do to get a push to talk feature? I'm puzzled how a software so popular could lack a feature so basic.

I just used this feature today in a Zoom meeting, and this needs to be added to Teams ASAP. It's common courtesy now for people to stay muted, and having to hunt for the UI button and click on it when doing just a short reply is unnecessary. Further, the current CTRL-SHIFT-M isn't very intuitive like Zoom's spacebar hold to unmute.

I'd also like to get status on if the user is in a call or not. That would help a lot for automation.

This also needs to be usable without window focus. I'm often asked a question in a meeting while I'm working in Visual Studio (For example) and having to switch windows AND click a button (or then use a convoluted key combo) just simply to say "yes", or "no" is a terrible user experience

Not being able to un mute quickly during meetings when navigating different screens is frustrating!
