Teams Audio or Camera Isn't Working

Learn what to check when people can't hear you, you can't hear them, or your camera isn't working in Microsoft Teams.

Check these in order

1

Check your devices in Teams

Select Settings and more (…), then Settings, then Devices. Choose the right speaker, microphone, and camera.

2

Make a test call

On the same page, select Make a test call to hear yourself and check your setup.

3

Check for a mute switch

Many headsets and laptops have a physical mute button or camera cover.

4

Close other apps

Another app using the camera or microphone can block Teams. Close it and rejoin.

5

Check computer permissions

Make sure Teams is allowed to use your camera and microphone in your computer's privacy settings.

In a browser? Allow camera and microphone access when the browser asks, or in the site settings.
