KHSherwood So just as I was about to join the Mac user rancor, I was told by a colleague that audio should work fine on a Mac through Teams without having to check anything. I tested it out first using my headset and that definitely didn't work. However, I changed my device settings in Teams to my internal speakers and after playing a YouTube video, my colleague was able to hear it perfectly over Teams. So, test it out without a headset and see if it works.

Microsoft team, shame on you for leaving us in the lurch.

gamason thanks for sharing this. My district is doing a "remote snow day" so we're teaching from home, and wasn't sure if I'd need to fire up my 1 year old PC laptop that works like a dinosaur or if I could use my MacBook to teach today. So glad I can!
