Teams video not working
Hi,
Do you know if there is any other student with the same problem? So that we are sure that the professor really sharing something.
Are you using the desktop client (https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads) for Teams or the Web client (https://teams.microsoft.com)? Test both of them and see if that helps. It could also be bandwidth related, Teams will prioritise audio over video and sharing. So try another connection if possible.
Also if there is over 250 participants in that lecture you should recommend your school using Live Events instead, that is also using Teams but allows over 10000 viewers.
LinusCansby I am having similar problem when using web app. And desktop app is failing to download but let me try again
- I’m currently using the Microsoft teams app on phone to attend lectures but I’m unable to see the video the staff is presenting . I have tried everything except deleting and reinstalling the app
Please help LinusCansby Same issue at my workplace too. It's all happening for last couple of weeks.
Same at my workplace. Tried two meetings today with just two participants and they were hopeless and not usable. We swapped over to zoom and it was perfect.
It's so bad nobody in our organisation uses it.

LinusCansby It's not only me but with like 2-5 more. The thing is that it used to happen but gets solved when i exit an rejoin the meeting. And yes he is sharing the document. I am using the desktop one and will try later the web one. We did ask the university but they just ignored us since the lecture gets recorded. But recently also in the same course the recordings only show the audio it is not showing the video.
- I am using Teams on my cell phone (oneplus 7t pro mclaren on the T Mobile network). For several months, Teams was working perfectly. Now, I am having the same issue. I can hear audio and share my video; however, I can no longer view anyone's shared screen or video. When others share their video, Teams either shows their video for a fraction of second and then freezes on a still image or shows a completely gray screen. When people share their screen, I see a completely gray image. In terms of bandwidth, I am using a 5G connection and am able to seamlessly use similar features (ie: view others' video and shared screen) on other platforms (ie: WhatsApp, Bluejeans, Hangouts, and Zoom). Please help me with trouble shooting this issue.
BradleyNRL I am also having this problem on my mac. Worked perfectly until about 10 days OK. Now I cannot get incoming vide or sharing. Starts fine and cuts out 20 sec or so into a call.
