adjust volume for individual callers in a meeting
I'm not sure OP is really asking to be able to control another user's mic, but rather the ability to adjust the volume you receive them at from your side, much like Discord has.
If you have one user really quiet and, one user practically eating the mic, or really loud, you can't adjust the volume as it stands to be able to comfortably hear both participants, as they are both controlled by a single volume control, rather than independently.
Would it be possible to get a system that exists in Discord, where we can adjust the incoming volumes of different participants?
Currently I have to constantly manipulate the volumes of people talking, not so bad when working at home and I can use my speakers, but when I am in the office and the speaker is right next to my ear I worry that it could damage my hearing.
Also is there some way teams can let individual users know how loud there mike is, so hat they can adjust their own volume on said device to a reasonable level?
Thanks

Currently (its unlikely that this will ever change, just think of the implications of someone else manipulating your mic..) each participant is responsible for their own volume controls, so the settings manipulating control is on their end. The setting to Microsoft Teams Client to "Automatically adjust mic sensitivity" is essential in keeping their volume to an acceptable level.
Also, always use audio devices certified for Teams to eliminate the risk of misbehaving audio.
Hope that helps.
- This has nothing to do with mics, just being able to adjust individual audio input just like the system volume turns all volume up or down.

Please unmark this "solution", it's just the correct comment.
microsoft: Please add this functionality.I have exactly the same problem. Unfortunately, it seems to be an issue about audio and Not microphone. The Teams application could solve this only with one solution, creating an audio automatic normalization, similar to televisions and streaming services, where they adjust the audio volume normalizing different amplitudes for a fine experience.
This is a suggestion. I don't know how much effort is necessary, any way, this is my suggestion, I hope can be considered by Microsoft.
- So many simple gaming options allow this and the power house that is Microsoft cant make these programming changes. We are the product, not the Office w/Teams product. I hate to say it. If a bunch of young programmers can do this so can the bloated programming team at Microsoft. This is unacceptable. This is why people use other products, when they can. As a HIPPA shop we have to use compliant programs, and this typically equates to lazy programs.
Microsoft's attitude needs to be adjusted, as do many of their bloatware products.
my two cents.
