How do I disable the "Start audio call" shortcut in Teams?

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?

Solution 1:

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.
