The Teams mute button on the Windows taskbar is back.

Microsoft started rolling out a new Teams client last year, but the new app disabled the mute and unmute microphone feature on the Windows 11 taskbar. It’s now returning for those on the “new Teams” app. Teams Public Preview members will get it first, ahead of a rollout to all Teams users soon.

The mute button will work for Teams calls again soon.
