Sometimes when copying text from Microsoft Teams, I'll accidentally start an audio call with a coworker, as the keyboard shortcut for copying text (Ctrl+C) is similar to the shortcut for starting a call (Ctrl+Shift+C).

Seeing as my coworkers don't appreciate random calls, how do I disable the audio call keyboard shortcut in Microsoft Teams?

You can use the free AutoHotkey.

To replace in Teams the combination Ctrl+Shift+C by the simpler one of Ctrl+C, you could use a AutoHotkey script such as:

#if WinActive("ahk_exe Teams.exe")
^+c::Send, ^c

After installing AutoHotKey, put the script in a .ahk file and double-click it to test. You may stop the script by right-click on the green H icon in the traybar and choosing Exit. To have it run on login, place it in the Startup group at C:\Users\USER-NAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

Useful AutoHotkey documentation:

Create a new DWORD(32 bit) "NoKeyShorts" with the value of 1 under Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Teams”, then restart. This only works for the desktop application on Windows.

    If this solution worked before, it does not appear to work anymore, or the registry has changed. Anyone has any other suggestions? – 4673_j Nov 23 '22 at 19:37
