Teams - Calls (meetings) Issues with Feedback: Best practices?
- 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:

adam deltinger This used to work. But now the external mic is giving ring-feedback even with just me in the room. Not recognising external speakers and mic going together. To counter-act MS Teams automatically adjusts the mic volume down to zero. Not really a workable solution.
I think this changed in the last update (April?). It used to work fine before then.
Any ideas on how to fix it? Aggregate devices on Win 10?
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.
To add on to adam deltinger 's good response - I pack around a little Jabra disc speaker/mic - it works perfectly on a conference room table (for about 6 people). We use that for audio and our laptops for video. Very low cost way to get started with clear audio.
