Hey Robert, does this still work for you? It flashes to the Teams window but doesn't actually toggle mute for me.

I'm having this problem, too, in certain circumstances.

Code: Select all

WinActivate, | Microsoft Teams

works 75% of the time. When it doesn't work, it's because Teams is stuck on one of those stupid feedback screens "how would you rate your call."

I've googled it, and it seems there is no way to make that screen go away, and I have tried using the ID, the process, the class and the win title to select teams.

I'm stumped, too.

I GOT IT! Check this thread: https techcommunity.microsoft.com /t5/microsoft-teams/is-there-a-global-keyboard-shortcut-to-show-hide-the-teams/m-p/279908 Broken Link for safety

You can set a shortcut for an app in its properties screen. Then you can use AHK to send the keystroke for the app.

The "New Meeting Experience" with a call sitting in a separate window appears to make it even more impossible to identify the right window. From what I can see it isn't possible to identify it differently from any other teams window...
