Microsoft Teams Notification Sounds - Can't turn off???
I work at a rather large organization and we just switched to using Microsoft Teams. So far it has been great but what is driving me nuts is the Notification for new messages. I can't find it anywhere to turn this annoying sound off. When you have several coworkers all messaging you, I can't even wear headphones anymore it's gotten so bad. And you can't even turn it off? My options are, "Call, Mention, and Chat" , "All", "Off" How is these not separated? I would like it to be able to ring for calls but I don't need a BEEP every time someone messages me since I already get a banner and a flashing name. Please let me know if I am missing a setting somewhere.
Cannot hide gallery in "focus on content" or "full screen" mode
Hi There, Previously, when I selected "focus on content" on Teams, the gallery would be hidden. Recently, I reinstalled my laptop and found out that after "focus on content" is select, all the other attendants face would be hidden, but not mine. The following picture shows the screenshot of the Teams. This phenomenon also happens when I use "Full Screen". Someone knows how to solved it? Thanks in advance ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [update 1/28/2022]: A new Team v1.4.00.35564 has been released, and solved this issue. Please update your team.
Custom Background In MS Teams
UPDATED It looks like this is in the process of being rolled out or at least actively tested. If you have the version with the option to select a background image, custom images can be added. Save your image /s in the Uploads folder below C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME_HERE\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\Backgrounds\Uploads Then, in teams while on a call; click the 'More Actions' (Three Dots) at the bottom, select 'Show Background Effects' The pictures you added should show up on the right hand side of the screen with the default options from Microsoft. Good Luck! S
Global Custom Hotkey support for Teams (especially mute microphone)
In modern multi tasking cooperative work environments being able to mute or unmute your microphone without having to change the active window is a must. It reduces the strain of having to look for the teams app while presenting to or working with people. There is going to be an increasing number of users cooperating and this convenience feature is used by a vast amount of proficient users, gamers and ex-gamers that are used to the global hotkeys from TeamSpeak. The use-case was the same, you were busy in an interactive real-time game, talking to people, and you didn't want to disturb your team with unwanted noises. Having to ALT-TAB out of the game, or an application while working or teaching is much less convenient than just pressing a key anywhere any time. Also, a global hotkey should be freely configurable not hardcoded and immutable. Since global hotkeys could easily clash with other applications, the purpose is giving the user to freedom to have their limited number but essential hotkeys in their environment.
Microsoft Teams Call Volume too Quiet
My company recently switched to Microsoft Teams for our conference calls, and an issue I'm having involves call volumes when taking calls over headphones vs. laptop speakers. I typically take calls through my headphones, where volume changes work as expected. However, if I disconnect my headphones to listen to the meeting through the laptop speakers, the volume changes. For a split-second the volume will be at the correct level, and immediately afterwards will reduce so low that it's almost impossible to hear (think listening to headphones without having them in your ears). Despite this, my computer and Teams both claim the volume is at 100%, but this can't possibly be true. Any suggestions?
