Microphone not working for team but works for group

overwatch

When I play in a group, I am able to use my microphone with no problems. However, when I turn on the microphone in the team voice chat, I am constantly broadcasting static to the rest of the team. There isn't any background noise that I can hear. I can see my name in the top left with the speaker symbol even when I am not talking or I mute my microphone.
Does anyone know why this might be or what I can do about it?

Best Answer

Are you sure you've set your microphone to 'Push-to-talk' in the game's settings while you're in team chat?

If yes, then the game might be using some other recording device. Check and disable others in your windows sound panel under Recording Devices.
