Quick routine before you join
- Run the three checks above.
- In Teams, open Settings > Devices and pick the devices that passed here.
- Click "Make a test call": Teams records a short message and plays it back.
- Join a minute early and confirm the preview on the pre-join screen.
Menu names change between versions; if one has moved, the device settings are always under the app's Settings > Audio/Video (or Voice & Video, or Devices).
Other call apps: Zoom test · Google Meet test · Discord test
Questions
How do I make a test call in Teams?
In the Teams desktop app go to Settings > Devices and select "Make a test call". A bot asks you to record a short message, plays it back and shows which devices were used. It is not available in every Teams version or on the web; this page works anywhere.
Teams can't find my camera.
Close other apps that use the camera, check Windows Settings > Privacy & security > Camera allows desktop apps, then fully quit and restart Teams. In Teams on the web, allow the camera in site settings.
My headset works here but not in Teams.
Teams keeps its own device choice. Open Settings > Devices and select the headset for both speaker and microphone. Some headsets appear twice (for example "Headset" and "Hands-Free"); choose the non-hands-free entry for better sound.
