Hello, 

My in built microphone on my laptop works well with other  and is good on the voice recorder but I cannot take part in audio conversations on Teams because others in the conversation cannot hear me. I have tried settings on Teams and on my laptop control panel but haven't been able to fix the problem. Can anyone help?

Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for the advice, but it is a Teams problem, as a lot of people here (inlcuding myself) are saying that it works fine with other apps, such like Zoom, Meets, any voice recorder, so clearly is a problem bewteen Zoom and the mic.

    Is there a way to deactivate any noice cancelling that Teams is using?

    I love everything about MS Teams but I'm having one tiny problem. It's when I call with my laptop (the camera and voice recording works just fine), I would unmute myself but they could not hear me. I already tried the test call but it just said that the microphone was not working but I have changed my settings numerous of times but they all did not work. But there was one time when I was able to use the mic of MS Teams using the web but it was only 2 times. Also when I tried calling with my phone it works just fine. Could you please tell me why? and what I could do about it? Thank you! :)

    I am having the same issue. Thought it was my computer since its from the school. I have used wireless headphones with a built in mic and the other people in the meeting were able to hear me. The next issue after this is when I share my screen and have my head phones plugged in I am unable to share my computers sound with my participants. So that is my next thing to try to fix. Hopefully this issue gets resolved quickly.

    Try running a Teams meeting test in the Settings menu under Devices. Get close to the Mic and talk as loud as you can, if it plays back as a very low voice then what you are experiencing is a Driver issue not a Windows Teams issue. You will need to contact the the hardware provider (Dell, Lenovo, etc...) it would be an issue they need to fix.
