If you go to that uservoice, a few comments down you should see a solution to this: go to avatar > settings > permissions > turn off midi device. People have reported that it has solved it for them
Hope this resolves and answers your question
Best, Chris
I found that teams take a weird priority in windows over the Play/Pause Media.
The fix I found was to use Alt with Play/Pause Media.
This would alternate which media the Play/Pause Media was using.
If interested in using one key I created a keybind with AutoHotkey to automate this to one key press.
In this case, F2 is my key of choice.
Hope this helps.
f2::
Send {LAlt down}{Media_Play_Pause}{LAlt up}
return

OMG pressing alt works! This is very weird. So that means I just need to swap out my streamdeck media button for a hotkey that presses alt + media-play instead.
Works for me with any modifier key, all 6 alts, shifts and ctrls work fine. Without it just a dead response, unless I've been called in which case I get a ring tone play.
Many thanks Johnnybaker && Tpolz
