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.

    Dear Microsoft,

      I am having this issue too and it affects our professional lives performance here, can you simply add a volume slider to the microsoft? windows 10 does not have friendly microphone controls and your application lacks them does not solve it, by comparison on one of your products (Skype) I had the same issue and there was a volume slider so I could fix it easily.

      This problem is just a volume issue, should we be able to select the desired microphone volume we could close this.

    I have a similar problem,

    Interestingly its when I share the same laptop with my husband in a Teams call or meeting. Once he speaks, Teams cuts my voice out.

    Its as if the background filter registers my voice as background noise. I have to speak in the very center of the laptop to be heard but it continues to cut out my voice intermittently. 

    This does not happen in other apps such as Skype for business or Zoom.

    Hi...

    I had the same problem but I tried using teams online (via google chrome) instead of on the app and it worked fine.  

    Hope this helps!

    Hi

    I had the intermittent microphone problem - some saying I was so soft and others saying they could not hear me at all.  

    I had just switched from using my home laptop which I knew had a broken microphone and so had bought myself a USB desk microphone £19.95 which is plug and play and all I have to do is make sure the blue light is showing and people can hear me.  The blue light is an on off switch so easy to use. (light on to talk and press to turn off and the mic is off)

    Sadly I fear the quality therefore of microphones in some laptops is nowhere near good enough for what we are trying to do with them within applications and find my solution to work so I will stick with it.  I note that some people in my office are using headphones with mics attached (like gaming headsets) and these seem to also work very well indeed.

    It is therefore not a laptop software issue seemingly, in my opinion, as they work with some apps and not others so unless the application selected makes a change I fear it will not be sorted.

    This is my tuppenceworth!

    Nick
