I posted about this on the regular Microsoft community forums and someone pointed out that their issue was that Teams seemingly has an incompatibility Elgato's 4K60 Pro Mk2 Capture Card, and this was definitely the issue for me.
No solution still, other than simply removing the cards from my system (not really an option)... so the workaround is just using the browser version of Teams which is inferior, especially for screen sharing and video calls. Hopefully they can fix it sometime, but seeing the volume of people coming forward with this bug I'm sure there is a variety of other hardware that is incompatible.
Nevertheless, quite odd especially considering that said hardware works with the browser version of Teams which must share almost entirely the same code base.

RichardPepp - Still no luck 😕
Interesting side point, I've now done a full wipe off all drives and a completely fresh install of windows, issue still presists. So im guessing its hardware realted?!!? Yet every other application can detect input and output devices. Super weird one.... :s

Yeah it doesn't make much sense considering that the card works in literally every other application, not to mention that this is probably the most popular 4K capture card on the market.
Not sure if there is any official channel to Microsoft to report a bug regarding Teams but I'm all ears.- Jonathan LawtonJul 20, 2020Copper Contributor
