1) Click the desired teams (1:1) chat.

2) The new tab ”LinkedIn” appears automatically in the tab. Select this one.

2. Manage participant videos in teams meetings

Recently, presenters and organizers in teams meetings have the option to disable the camera of certain or all participants. Accordingly, it is ensured that no video is shared in the meeting.

Share content

 

Note: All audio is included in the meeting when shared from your computer (including notifications). Your computer and teams must be set to the same speaker. You can customize the computer audio output in System Preferences and Teams audio output in Teams Device Settings.

 

4. Receive notification when music is played (for educational institutions only).

During a Teams meeting, Teams automatically suppresses sounds that are not speech. Teachers receive a notification when teams notice that music is playing. Apart from that, you can thus define whether the music will be let through or the sound will be turned off and the participants will not hear the sound.
