Static noise on MS Teams during powerpoint screenshare (Mac)
Hi, I've used Teams for a few years and this is a new problem for me in the last 2 weeks. In Teams, if someone else shares their screen with a Powerpoint, I have very loud static noise so that I can...
I'm having the same exact issue. Only way to solve for it is to plug some headphones directly into my laptop and switch my audio output to "External Microphones".
More broadly, Microsoft Teams does audio on the Mac in such a strange and unique way. None of the other video-conference tools I use have anywhere near the same number of issues. It's gotten so bad that I'm now actively asking coworkers and customers to use Zoom or Webex instead.
- I always use headphones and external mic - and that static noise is loud.
I've taken to asking people not to use powerpoint live - and if I'm in a situation where that's not an option, I take off my headphones and use live captions to try to follow their presentation until they switch the powerpoint off.
It is so annoying. Will Microsoft ever fix it?- Can someone else test this - I'm just in a meeting with the usual issue - someone's sharing on powerpoint live and I get the noise. Put the live captions on etc.
While they're still talking -
I pulled out the connection to my external monitor - noise still there.
I plugged the connection to my monitor back in - and the noise has gone!!
Game changer (for me) if this is repeatable.
