Training In A Minute: Check Your Audio With A Teams Test Call

Connecting to a conference call or webinar only to find out nobody can hear you (or you can't hear anyone) can be frustrating! As your device could be connected to any number of speakers, microphones, TVs, projectors, and wireless headsets, it's not uncommon for your conferencing application to not be sure which device should be used.

Did you know there is a quick and easy way to test your audio built right into Microsoft Teams?

Making a Test Call In Microsoft Teams

  1. Open Teams

  2. Select your profile picture on the top right

  3. Click Settings

  4. Click Devices

    1. Make sure your speaker is set to the device you want audio to come out of

    1. In a test call, once connected, you can speak and then within seconds hear what you said played back to you
