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

    "people who I've never met in person probably think so"

    this is i guess what most people are concerned about, but there i can put you at ease:

    the OTHER side actually sees a perfectly fine picture, its just the mirroring display on the same machine that looks tomatoey.

    Hi,

    I have same issue JUST with MS Teams on 14" MacBook Pro with M3.

    As workaround helped me running in parallel OBS app and applying filters to core video stream in that.

    That stream (shows up as OBS camera) I used as camera in MS Teams.

    Nothing else seems to help, since no "generic camera settings" available in MacOS. Apple does not see the need and is correct in all but Teams case.

    Regards

    Markus

    Same issue here with Macbook Pro M3. Only in Teams. Even looks better in the Teams settings but definitely a more ruddy look when on a Teams call.

    Frustrating that these complaints have gone unresolved.
