Sound Setup
1. Click Share Content
You can include audio from your device while sharing content in a meeting or live event. For example, you'll want to do this if you're playing a video as part of a presentation.
To share sound from your computer, select Share Content
in your meeting controls and then Include computer sound--- it's the switch on the top left of your sharing options.
2. Sharing with Computer Audio
When you share, all audio from your computer, including notifications, will be included in the meeting.
Please Note: Teams and your computer must be set to the same speaker. Adjust your computer's audio output in your system settings and Teams audio output in your device settings in Teams.
Troubleshooting Sound Issues
Poor Audio Quality: If your computer is running many applications, you may experience issues with sound quality, like lagging or cutting out. If this happens, closing other applications can help.
1. Low volume Issues
If you're using Windows, other sounds from your device (like notifications and alerts) are reduced when you join a Teams meeting. Most of the time, that's probably what you want so you can focus on the meeting. But if you're sharing computer sound, the same setting that quiets other system sounds will also quiet the audio you're trying to share.
2. Go to your Computer's Sound Settings
To fix this, go to your system's sound settings, find your Sound Control Panel, select Communications and then Do nothing.
3. Apply Changes
You will need to apply the changes so others can hear your shared audio loud and clear.
