adjust volume for individual callers in a meeting
I was just wondering if there was an option that I had missed that allows me to change the volume of individual participants in a meeting. I regularly have meetings where some people are really loud,...
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.
Hi,
Audio volume is managed per device from the said device. It gets tricky when some may have a device very close to them and others may have this further away. By default Teams has built in capability to auto-adjust the mic level. So how does it work? if you set the mic level to 50% before the call. Teams smarts might push it up to say 80%. That now becomes the new default. This function can be a bit hit and miss, no toggle to turn off at the moment. Just remember, for the best experience, always use certified for Teams devices.

Why does Discord offer this feature which a fraction of the budget offered to Microsoft Teams… The work is already done… offer a contract to discord to program individual volume adjustment sliders to each caller that a user can individually use and adjust.
Saying it’s tricky just sounds lazy on Microsoft’s part

- You don’t adjust an individual’s mic, you adjust the individual input audio coming from each mic with a -100 to 0 to +100 personal volume adjustments for each individual you are talking to….with zero being the default unaltered input audio of an individual.
Then use the system audio to turn all audio up or down.
It’s not that complicated, it’s only math and ratios of input audio…. Complicated would be programming audio ai to cut high and low peak frequencies based on painful facial features based off are live images, auto adjusting the volume.
