Getting rid of a floating microphone icon

I currently have a floating mic icon on my screen that doesn't look very Apple like. I don't see an Apple control for it and the Force Quit menu doesn't seem to recognize it's there. I first noticed it when using MS Teams.... and that may be where it comes from originally... but I'm not currently running any MS app and it's still on my screen. Any ideas on what it is and how to get rid of it? I've started (but not completed) a Bitdefender complete scan of my system but I don't have any results yet.

Thanks.

Sounds like "Voice Control" is enabled. Check System Preferences > Accessibility > Voice Control.
