- Microsoft Teams: Ultrasound Howling Detection – When multiple people join a meeting in the same room then a feedback loop is created which causes echo and in most cases the echo quickly escalates to howling (like when a musician holds the mic too close to a loudspeaker).

We will automatically mute the mic and speakers of the person who has joined post a user who has joined with audio on.
