Teams - Calls (meetings) Issues with Feedback: Best practices?
A user came to me with this situation: they host weekly meetings via Teams - some members are located on-site while others are in remote locations. Those on-site will gather in a conference room an...
- Best practice is having a meeting room device set up or available! There is Teams meeting room system which is a full meeting room experience which connects to the meeting itself as a user but it’s rather expensive! For a simple solution to this I recommend buying a external mic/speaker/cam which you have laying around in the meeting room! Then connect it via BT or USB to a single computer that connects to the meeting! See different devices here:

Thanks for that useful post. I take your point about the simple solution of buying a single external mike for the room. But wouldn't there still be feedback (or bad echo) in the room when the remote person speaks, even if they are doing so through a single source? Their voice will be broadcast into the room, picked up by the mike, broadcast back to them, and thence back into the room again...
I would guess that without a conferencing system there would have to be a lot of manual muting and unmuting - but I'd be interested to hear your experience.
