+1 on space bar as walkie/talkie kind of muting/unmuting. I mean - hold the space bar and talk. Release it and come back to mute.

Slack has assigned the 'M' key as a shortcut. I think that works quite well.

Please add a push to talk button! This is such basic functionality other programs like Discord and Zoom use.

There is a keyboard shortcut to mute/unmute yourself.
Ctrl+Shift+M will toggle mute on yourself.What we need is a shortcut for mute all participants.
Also some way to use Teams shortcuts while the meeting isn't your highlighted window. -

It would really be great if Microsoft allows me to select & configure a Function key to globally toggle mic mute and link that in the backgrount to the Teams app. That way I can use other apps and still mute/unmute when in a teams meeting without having to check first if Teams still has focus for space bar or Ctrl+****+M to actually work.

I tried just now pressing just O or M during a teams video call, and nothing happens. Why the need to add the CTRL and SHIFT? Agree with all the other comments here that a shortcut to temporarily unmute would help remove random background noise and keep the conversation slick.

A hotkey to mute / unmute would be incredibly useful. Other platforms offer this and it's disappointing for Teams not to have this as a feature. I don't want to Alt+Tab into Teams and mute or unmute myself every time.

for all those who ask for a hot key or the space bar as an option,,,,, in the las version of teams you can use the space bar to mute or unmute the mic if you previously click the mic button after that you will be able to use the space bar again as a mic mute or unmute function.

There is a keyboard shortcut ctrl + shift + m. But it would be nice to be able to change the shortcut.

Another vote for a single key mute/unmute option.

Lets not forget to add this functionality to GCC-High Teams as well. lets not let it lag 6-12 months behind like usual.

yeah, button for push to talk would be awesome and so much helpful. Zoom does it with space bar. they call it "temporarily unmute"

I APPROVE! PLEASE A KEY TO MUTE/UNMUTE MICROPHONE WITH AN ICON IN SYSTEM TRAY THAT APPEARS WHEN ITS MUTED. WOULD BE VERY VERY VERY USEFUL! Can't stand the fact that I would need to install a external program like MicMute to have my Windows 10 issue taken care of. THANKS FOR RELEASING AN UPDATE IN ADVANCE, REALLY APPRECIATE THE HELP!
