Change audio sources
When you join a Teams meeting, you can choose your source of audio from the meeting pre-join screen. Available audio settings vary depending on the source you choose.
If you're joining from the Teams desktop app, you can choose from several audio source options before you join.
|
Audio source |
When you choose this... |
|---|---|
| Computer audio |
Your computer's default speaker and mic will be used during the meeting. In Audio settings, select the audio devices you want to use from the Speaker and Microphone dropdown menus. |
| Phone audio |
Your phone mic and speakers will be your audio source during the meeting. After you join, you'll have two options:
You'll still be able to participate in the meeting from the device you originally joined from, but that device will be muted and your phone mic and speakers will be the audio sources. |
| Don't use audio | You'll join the meeting muted. This can help prevent audio disruption in larger meetings and events. |
