Teams being too dumb to do basic Audio/Video is a common problem. I can literally sit here record my microphone with arecord while Teams claims it’s not working. This has been an issue in Teams since its inception.

For the reporter - can you reproduce this issue on a currently supported version of Plasma 6?

I'm asking that since we'd normally refer issues with KDE-unsupported, LTS distribution-packaged software to the distribution maintainers - in this case, though, Kubuntu 22.04 has reached end-of-life from the Kubuntu team as of last month: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/forum/archives/eol-releases (and https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/ )

Thanks!

Seems to related to #503965. Bug triggered only if "Enhanced Media Controls" is enabled
Comment 6 John Kizer 2025-05-29 18:41:43 UTC
Hi - for the reporter here, could you please check if this issue is connected to whether or not the Enhanced Media Controls plug-in setting is active?

Thanks!
