Audio
Teams will recognise the available video and audio devices and use the most appropriate option for your meeting. If people in a meeting cannot hear you, you might be muted, or you might not have configured your mic correctly.
To change your speaker, microphone, or camera settings when you’re on a call or in a meeting:
select More options
Show device settings in your meeting controls. Then, select the speaker, microphone, and camera options you want.
The device you select will become the default setting. Any changes will need to be made manually.
Video
Before joining a scheduled meeting, you can choose to turn your video and microphone on or off. You can also specify the default device to use.
Note: If four or more members have already joined the meeting, you will be automatically muted.
Once you have selected your audio and video settings, click Join now to join the meeting.
To leave the meeting, click the Hang up button
Blur your background
With Teams you can blur your surroundings when on video with colleagues. Follow the instructions below on how to do this.
- Move the background slider to the right when you are joining a meeting and you will see a preview with the background blurred
- You can also blur your background once in a meeting by clicking the ‘More options’ icon and selecting appropriate option
- If you no longer want to blur the background, click the More options button and select Don’t blur background.
