If people can't hear you in a meeting, you may be muted, or you might not have configured your mic correctly. Adversely, if people cannot see you, then you may have the wrong camera input selected or not selected at all. In this brief walkthrough, we'll show you how to adjust audio and video settings to suit your preferences so you can either prepare for or jump back into your meeting. MS Teams allows you to adjust your audio and video settings Before a meeting. While joining a meeting. During a meeting. Option 1: Before a Meeting Checking your experience before a meeting can reduce technical issues and save time.

To adjust your audio and video settings before a meeting: 1. Open MS Teams. 2. Click on the three dots. 3. Select Settings next to your profile picture. 4. Select Devices. 5. Adjust your speaker, microphone, and camera options. Option 2: While Joining a Meeting Forget to set your preferred devices before opening a meeting link? MS Teams allows you to adjust your camera, speaker, and microphone before you even join the meeting. After opening a meeting link or entering an ID to join, click the gear iconand adjust your Device settings appropriately. Option 3: During a Meeting Having unexpected trouble with your devices mid-meeting? The audio and video controls in MS Teams are streamlined to easily adjust and troubleshoot on the fly without leaving your meeting window.

These are usually found in the upper right of the main meeting window, towards the Leave button. Note that the default may be set to "Custom Audio Device," which will use your devices' built-in default audio devices. If this default configuration isn't working, try selecting other options. Teams Audio and Video Settings FAQ I'm unmuted but my audio is still not going through. I can hear them, but they cannot hear me. Some devices have a physical mute option on the device itself, so check that your headphone microphone is not in the mute position, usually upright or away from your mouth, or that your external microphone's physical mute button is not turned on. Try picking different Mic options until you find one that works. Where can I learn more about Microsoft Teams?

By default, meeting chat in MS Teams is persistent, meaning it is accessible to all participants after the meeting ends from each user's Chat menu in the MS Teams app. This means, participants of the meeting can access and use the chat after the meeting has ended, so long as there was at least one chat message sent. How do I make sure participants cannot use the meeting chat after the meeting ends? You cannot change the visibility of the meeting chat for other participants. However, if you do not want the meeting chat to be active after the meeting ends, you must adjust your meeting options to turn on in-meeting only chat. To do this, Open the meeting invite. Select Meeting Options at the bottom the footer/body. Change Chat to In-meeting only or Off. I have external participants in my meeting chat, will they continue to have access to the Chat? Anonymous and external participants have chat access only while attending a scheduled meeting. If the external participant is a member of an internal Team, they are subject to the Guest rules of the Team set by the Team owner. Can I permanently delete a chat from a recent meeting? You can delete a persisting meeting chat by using the three dots in the upper right of a chat. However, this will not delete the chat for other people. This will only remove you from the meeting chat and remove the chat from your MS Teams app. It will be inaccessible until you are re-added to the chat by another participant. What happens if a participant is manually removed from the meeting or chooses to leave a chat, will they still have access to meeting chat?

If a person is on the invite list upon scheduling the meeting, required or optional attendees, they will have access to the meeting chat-before, after, and during the meeting-even if they don't attend the meeting. I have a reoccurring meeting. Does the chat reset each occurrence? No. For recurring meetings, the chat conversation continues from one meeting to the next. When participants open their chat window, they’ll have access to all the messages that were exchanged in the previous meetings. I invited someone to a single occurrence, but not the entire meeting series. Can they use the chat? People invited to one meeting of a recurring meeting series can participate in the chat with other attendees. They won’t see chat history from previous meetings in the series, but they'll be able to send and view chat messages during the meeting. If you want to invite someone to join one of your recurring meetings but not the rest, make sure you forward the invite for the single instance, not the entire meeting series, to ensure chat privacy.
