Microsoft Teams is a collaboration platform developed by Microsoft that integrates chat, video meetings, file storage, and application integration.

The free version is installed on Windows with its icon on the Taskbar.

There are many settings one can enable in the Microsoft Teams app. 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, set default microphone, enable high fidelity sound, change mic sensitivity, and more.

You can use the video settings to select the default camera when using Microsoft Teams. If you have multiple camera devices, the video settings help you to switch between camera devices in Teams.

The steps walk you through how to do that in the Microsoft Teams app.
