Mute teams meeting with media key

[theIT]

Hi,

I would like to have an AHK script that mutes / unmutes my mic in the ongoing Microsoft Teams meeting if I press a button (play/pause or volume up / down) on my bluetooth headphone. I found an existing solution for that, what is basically working, but it seems if spotify or media player (or I guess any simular app) is running it won't pass the key to AHK, so my script doesn not work in this case. I wrote a simple script to test it like:

Code: Select all

#Persistent
#InstallKeybdHook
Media_Play_Pause::
MsgBox, Pressed

if spotify or media player (sometimes even if only teams) is running it doesn't do anything.
is there a way to always get the media keyevent?

Thank you in advance!
I.T.

You may want to have a look at the KeyHistory, to see what is being registered.

In this case (if spotify is running for example) nothing is registered.

I can't be of much help.
