quickly change audio output device between headset and speakers
Hi,
is there any option to quickly change audio output device between headset and speakers?
I sometimes use a headset, but I'd like to put the headset down during a meeting and start listening on speakers. It's really annoying having to do 5 clicks to change the output 😕
Now I need go to Settings / Devices / Speaker - and choose one I need.
Is there any shortcut or fastest way?
Thanks.
Hello Pabloing,
So far I know there is no shortcut to change the audio setting in Teams. available Shortcut in Teams are: Keyboard shortcuts for Microsoft Teams.
You can set the defaults in Menu(settings > Devices). I always use my headphone with Teams and switch default auto for speakers on my pc (Music).
All these shortcuts and there isn't one to switch the speaker? I have to click 5 times to go from headset to Speakers (Dock Audio). I change this ALL THE TIME. When I need to talk I use my headset, when I'm just listening I use my speakers.
There are two options here:
1- Slightly easier one that only requires 3 clicks: Click on the sound icon in the lower right corner, Click on the device name, Click on the device you want to switch to:2- A lot more complicated, especially if no tech experience: Write a ps1 script that toggles between two output devices and bind the script to a keyboard shortcut. I wrote a blog post about how I did this. Let me know if you're interested!
