I have a new macbook pro (14" M3) and find that when I use teams I look much redder than normal, like I've a sunburn. I don't have this problem using google meets. Is there some way to adjust the settings so my face looks normal in meetings?
I have the latest version of Teams. I've tried going to Teams settings and switching from FaceTime HD camera to my iphone and it's even worse. I've tried it with green screen on and off and adjusting brightness. Thanks in advance for your help

Hello,

From Microsoft Engineering we want to provide an update on this issue. Thank you all for reporting this problem and we appreciate your feedback and insights. 

As several reported, Teams desktop shows a red tint for video rendered in meeting stage, which is easier to notice when viewing preview video stream. The team found a problem with how the video rendering was configured for displays with certain profiles, resulting in wrong color space adjustment. A fix for this was released in Teams Client version 24267.700.3135.7488, that is now rolled out to all users and clouds as of January 12th 2025. 

Although this change improves the experience for majority of the scenarios and make the tones more accurate where viewing video feeds in Mac devices, there are still certain cases that can result in wrong color adjustment, especially when viewing Mac camera in remote machines or with multiple displays with different presets. Our team is working towards keep addressing remaining scenarios with more changes through the upcoming months.

Thank you,

Oscar A

    Same issue. It also makes me look like I'm wearing lipstick. The problem is unique to MS Teams. Please don't fall into the trap of dismissing it as someone else's problem.

    Same issue here, my bosses boss actually thought I was drinking in a meeting yesterday. Can we please have some saturation controls in Teams for the camera. It's hugely embarrassing.

    I installed OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). It's free and in there I compensated in the color correction settings and started a virtual camera. That helps the crappy teams to look fairly OK. I guess Teams can't handle the color space from the cameras in a correct way. Maybe not the cleanest solution but at least I don't look lika an oompa loompa any more.
