Enable High Fidelity Sound in Microsoft Teams

This guide explains how to improve your audio quality in Microsoft Teams. By turning on high-fidelity sound and echo cancellation, your music and voice will sound much clearer during meetings.

Why do this? Standard audio settings often compress sound, which makes music sound flat. Enabling these features ensures your audio stays crisp and background echoes are removed.

What happens when done? Your meetings will have professional-grade audio quality, making it easier for others to hear you clearly.

Microsoft Teams is a popular tool for video calls and chatting. You can connect your Google calendar, turn the camera and mic on or off on the lock screen, turn read receipts on or off, auto start Teams, disable Teams chat, sync contacts with Teams, connect to Google Calendar, link your mobile device, turning message preview on or off, manage teams notifications during calls, set default speakers, and set default microphone to the platform.

How to enable high-fidelity sound

Follow these simple steps to change your audio settings:

1. Open the Microsoft Teams app from your Start menu.

You can also open the app from the Taskbar or Taskbar overflow.

2. Click the Settings and more (three dots) button near your profile picture.
