Since starting to use Microsoft Teams, I’ve been encountering an issue when calling in to meetings; when joining a meeting, I’d get a loud buzzing on top of the meeting audio.

I recently set my Skype for Business client to ring simultaneously on my computer and my cell phone. I did not, however, want it to do so all the time, and set Skype for Business to only apply the call forwarding settings during my Working hours:
