How to Manage Microsoft Teams Mic Sensitivity Automatically

Microsoft Teams mic sensitivity automatically changes your microphone volume to block out background noise during calls. This built-in audio tool keeps your voice loud and clear, whether a dog barks or someone types loudly nearby.

Recent versions of Microsoft Teams on Windows 10 and 11 set this audio level on their own by default. You can change this setting from auto to high or low if your voice sounds too quiet or cuts out during meetings.

Audio settings inside the application control how dynamically the software reacts to room noise. Letting the platform pick optimal levels keeps meeting audio consistent without requiring manual tweaks before every call.

Here is how to set it up.

First, launch the Microsoft Teams app by clicking the Start menu ⊞ and selecting it on the All Apps list.

Pinning shortcuts to the Taskbar or Taskbar overflow offers alternative launch points.

In the full Teams window, click the Settings and more ( …) button next to your profile picture and select Settings from the menu.

Disabling the feature requires toggling the switch button to the Off position.

That handles the setup.
