I'm playing on PS5 and everytime I log in, I am auto joined to area voice chat.
The PS5 controllers don't need a mic to be plugged in and are unmuted by default, sometimes it can be 10-15 minutes before I realise its on
This is a fairly large privacy issue that needs to be fixed, I've heard other players discussing personal things on mic that they probably don't know are being broadcast

Once again, none of us knew each other (except one guy who knew me lol), no one was in a party or any chat and we were in completely different places in the game.

See my post directly above yours. It can get even weirder than that.
@GenjiraX happens on PS4 na as well.I’ve noticed on Xbox that, even when you leave zone chat, the little round ‘speaking’ icon continues to appear above other player-characters’ heads. That indicates to me that it’s yet another bug.
It also irritates me that the voice chat loading screen tip appears on PC. PC has no voice chat function.
Turn your Mic off in your Console audio settings. Even if you're logged straight into area chat your Mic won't be on. ZOS even put this in the game's start screen notes saying it's definitely unintended and will be fixed in the next patch.
