You're an I.T. guy so I feel inadequate even telling you this, but don't use the AP. Whether it's zoom or teams, always hit cancel and "open in browser" (I typically use chrome for this) The AP NEVER works right with either platform. And Chrome will save your info for another meeting.
I'm on teams and zoom about 3-5 times daily tue-fri (thankfully no one wants to meet on mondays)
I only ever use my first name and company abbreviation in parenthesis and click mute mic and close the camera before I ever log in.
As said above ALWAYS MUTE!!!!!! and never use the camera if you don't have to. Seriously. It's a waste of time, and the only thing you all need to see is the shared screen of the person sharing info (powerpoint etc)
We have some pretentious folks that run meetings that INSIST on your camera being on. They SAY they want to see your face and know you are engaged, but basically they want to know you're not working on something else or surfing NX4x4 while you're on this meeting 
for that a few of us have purchased various celebrities on sticks and use them to point the camera at. Mine is Mr T
