On this page we will guide you through setting AV modes within Microsoft Teams.


Streaming from a classroom in Hinds Hall, you will have three (3) options for setting up your recording on the computer.

(1) Lecture - Both audio input (microphone) / audio output (speaker) will use the headset
(2) Discussion - Audio input (microphone) will use the classroom mic / audio out (speaker) will use the classroom speakers
(3) Hybrid - Audio input → (headset) | Audio output → (classroom speakers)

Microsoft Teams Device Settings

  1. Select 'More Actions' on the meeting toolbar.


  2. Select 'Show device Settings'


  3. On the right a window will open with Audio device settings. Here you can customize your output speaker and your input microphone.

Changing Audio Settings

1) Within device settings - change audio output devices by clicking the speaker box and audio input devices by clicking the microphone box.

2) These settings allow you to change the devices (that are active on the computer) for Audio Input (Microphone) and Output (Speakers)
Note: If you do not see your desired device as an option this means the computer is not recognizing it. Please check its connection/power
