Improved device selection on Microsoft Teams meeting join screen

Microsoft Teams now allows users to select and change their microphone, speaker, or headset directly on the meeting join screen across desktop and web clients. This feature is on by default, requires no admin setup, and aims to simplify audio setup before joining meetings. Introduction To reduce confusion and last-minute device switching, Microsoft is introducing improved audio device selection on the Microsoft Teams join screen. Users can now confirm and change their microphone, speaker, or headset directly from the join screen—without navigating to separate settings menus. This update streamlines the join experience and helps users feel confident their audio setup is correct before entering a meeting.  View image in new tab This message applies to Teams for Windows desktop, Teams for Mac desktop and Teams for the web.
