Teams forgets device setting

[doni49]

I have a laptop assigned to me and provided by my employer.  It has Teams installed.  I work from home 3 days a week and in the office 2 days a week.  

I have a BT headset in the office.  At home, I use a Yeti Blue microphone with the laptop's internal speaker (essentially treating it as a speakerphone).  The first time I use Teams at home after having been in the office, the "Speaker" is set to use the Yeti Blue.  I have remember to manually change it back to the internal speaker.

Is there a way to force it to remember to use the speaker when using the Yeti microphone?

Hi @doni49,

unfortunately, Microsoft Teams doesn't currently support an automatic switching feature between different audio devices based on location or connection.
So, you'll need to manually adjust the speaker setting when transitioning between your office and home.

If you find this manual process inconvenient, you can send a feedback to Microsoft about your issue.

You can give feedback directly through the Teams application by navigating to the Help menu and choosing Give feedback.

You can also give feedback on Microsoft Feedback Portal: Microsoft Teams · Community

Thanks for the response.  I was able to find what I think is a solution to this late yesterday -- not within Teams but at the Windows level.  Under the list of sound devices, I disabled the Yeti as a potential speaker.  I'll know for sure when I connect at home again tomorrow.
