Summary

This guide helps you troubleshoot and resolve: How to Fix Microsoft Teams Meeting Audio Echo and Feedback for Brisbane Small Businesses. Follow the steps below to fix the issue.

Common Causes

Audio echo and feedback during Microsoft Teams meetings can disrupt communication and reduce productivity for small businesses. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to identify and resolve common audio issues in Teams.

Check Your Audio Device Settings

1. Open Microsoft Teams and select your profile picture in the top-right corner.
2. Select Settings, then choose Devices from the left menu.
3. Under Audio devices, select your preferred headset or microphone from the dropdown menu.
4. Under Speaker, select your headphones or external speakers. Avoid selecting the same device for both speaker and microphone if it causes echo.
5. Select Make a test call to verify your audio is clear before joining your next meeting.

Use Teams Noise Suppression

1. While in a meeting, select More (three dots) in the meeting controls.
2. Choose Device settings.
3. Under Noise suppression, select Auto or High to reduce background noise and echo.

Avoid Audio Feedback Loops

• Do not join the same Teams meeting from two devices in the same room, such as a laptop and a mobile phone.
• If you must use multiple devices, mute the microphone and lower the speaker volume on all but one device.
• Keep your microphone away from your speakers to prevent sound from being picked up and retransmitted.

Restart the Teams Application

1. Close Microsoft Teams completely. On Windows, right-click the Teams icon in the system tray and select Quit. On Mac, select Quit from the Teams menu.
2. Wait ten seconds, then reopen Teams.
3. Rejoin the meeting and test your audio.

Update Teams and Your Operating System

1. In Teams, select Settings > About to check for updates.
2. Ensure Windows or macOS is updated to the latest version.
3. Restart your computer after installing updates.

Check Your Internet Connection

Poor network quality can cause audio delays that sound like echo. Run a speed test and, if possible, connect via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi for more stable performance.

If you use an external USB headset, try unplugging it and plugging it back into a different USB port. Sometimes a loose connection can cause static or feedback.

Do not adjust system volume and Teams volume at the same time. Set your computer volume to a moderate level and control meeting volume within Teams to avoid audio distortion.
