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.
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.

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. - It looks like this is now available to vote for as a feature. https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/bcf9b264-272e-ec11-b6e6-00224827bbc2
- We came across this a few days ago. Seeing that people asking for this for over 2 years looks really bad for Microsoft. This is a simple thing. Other apps like Discord, or TeamSpeak back in the days, offered it for free. I can't believe that Microsoft can't do that.
- Thank you and well said, that is exactly what I’m looking for as well…
