This article provides instructions for configuring speakers, microphones, and cameras when joining a Teams meeting.
In this article:
When you click the Teams meeting link or join from a request, you will have audio and video options directly on the join screen so that you can join with your desired selections:
Once you are in a Teams meeting, you can turn your camera and microphone on or off from the icons at the top of the Teams screen.
If you need to switch audio or video devices while in a meeting, click the ellipsis (...) at the top and select Audio settings or the drop-down menu in the Mic button.
The Audio Settings panel opens, where you can select your Speaker and Microphone devices and set the volume levels.
If you're in a noisy location, enable this to enhance your microphone audio quality by removing background noise; otherwise, the default level is usually sufficient.
If you move a laptop between home and the office and have different audio devices in each location, you may run into issues with Teams not showing the desired audio device, alternatively, you might be able to select the desired device but not hear sound coming from that device.
If this happens, you may find additional device settings managed by your operating system.
