Interpreters: Use LiveVoice with MS Teams

Interpreters who want to do interpretation of MS Teams meetings need to mute themselves on Teams, while speaking into LiveVoice.

Important: Depending on the headset used, Teams might mute the whole headset, which results in the situation that no audio gets into the mic at all - which means also no audio gets into LiveVoice.
