Why the Teams client keeps using the microphone after calls are finished? is it evesdropping?

Everytime I finish a call on Teams I need to fully the close the client because Teams client keeps using my microphone. Not sure if this is a simple bug or it is evesdropping what you say for I don't what reason.
The only workaround I found so far is to fully close the client after every call. Now that's quiet annoying. Is there a fix for this?

@TomasArango-0267,

It should not be an eavesdropping. I tested this in several computers and Teams didn’t occupy the microphone when the call finished.

To determine if this is Teams side problem, it recommends you to log in Teams web client(https://teams.microsoft.com) and check the usage of microphone.

Meanwhile, it’s suggested to update your client to the latest version and if your OS have update warning, please update it in time.

Besides, I want to confirm some other questions:

Does this problem exist all the time? Or what changes do you do before happened?

Does anyone else have the same problem?

Not sure how a Web client relates to the installed one. Any bug in one should be independent from the other.
Laptop is fully upgraded on Windows 10, and client is up to date also.

@TomasArango-0267,

I searched a lot and didn’t find the similar issue. It has no definite solution now.

To determine if this is a single-computer problem, you could test in other computers and observe the results.

Test with other applications and check the microphone status to analyze if there is something wrong with the audio driver.

Furthermore, you could also Report a problem from Teams client as below:
