      Thanks Viney
      On this occasion, rebooting my machine solved it but of course that is not very practical most of the time when I only find out once a call has started. Hopefully these bugs are being fixed one by one.

      Newer HP laptop. Microphone stopped working in Zoom. This is what I tried:
      -Microphone works in other apps
      -Microphone is not muted in Zoom
      -Privacy settings Zoom is approved for access to the microphone
      -Selected microphone in Zoom settings and the test failed
      -rebooted
      -uninstalled Zoom and reinstalled it (downloaded latest version)
      Still doesn’t work.
      My next step will be to uninstall Zoom and remove any reference to Zoom using regedit, then reinstalling it.

      Wish me luck!

      I am having issues in both Zoom and Teams.
      I have checked all settings/permissions and they are all correct and I have rebooted several times.
      When I test the mic it works but when I join a meeting it doesn’t work. I tried a call via Teams and they can’t hear me.
      I don’t know what else to do.
      Any help would be hugely appreciated!

      Spent about 45 minutes with my Mum on this and couldn’t find Zoom registered under the microphone / security settings on Windows. Eventually looking in Google Chrome settings and found that the microphone was Blocked, changed this to Ask for Permission, and hey presto, the microphone worked in the Zoom app. Makes no sense since we weren’t using the browser for Zoom, but problem solved.
