Recommendations
To optimize your Teams session, we recommend the following:
- A device with a good internet connection.
- Use headphones or earbuds with a microphone to minimize surrounding noise and maximize your voice.
- When you enter a large Teams meeting, mute your microphone as a courtesy.
- As the host of the meeting, individuals can mute and unmute participants at any point.
- Audio — At a minimum, ensure you have speakers and a microphone; however, we recommend a headset or earbuds (with a mic).
- Video — Try to have a webcam, either built into your computer, phone or a USB webcam.
