How to Change Audio and Video Settings in a Teams Meeting?
If you want to switch from your computer speakers to headphones or select a different camera, you can do so directly within the meeting window.
Step 1: Open Quick Settings
Click the small arrow located next to the microphone or camera icon (see Fig. 1).

Step 2: Select the Required Device
-
Speaker: Select the device you want to use to hear others (e.g., headphones or external speakers).

💡 When is this useful?
These settings will be helpful if:

You connected new headphones and the system did not select them automatically.
-
You want to use a higher-quality external microphone instead of the one built into your computer.
-
Colleagues mention they cannot hear you or are seeing the wrong video feed.
