Echo or feedback during Microsoft Teams calls
Echo happens when your microphone picks up sound from your speakers. The easiest fix is to use headphones with a built-in microphone instead of relying on your computer's speakers and microphone. If you are already using headphones, unmute and mute your microphone a couple of times to reset it.
Echo in Teams calls happens when your microphone picks up the sound coming from your speakers. This creates a feedback loop where your audio keeps bouncing back and forth. We will mute your microphone, adjust audio settings, use headphones to prevent the loop, and lower speaker volume if needed.
- ✓Have your headphones or audio device ready
- ✓Have Teams open with a call active or ready to test
- ✓Make sure your microphone and speakers are both connected and working
- ✓Have the ability to adjust volume on your device

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Not realizing that speaker and microphone together create a feedback loop. Headphones break the loop
- Raising speaker volume to hear better instead of using headphones. This makes echo worse
- Muting only in Teams without also muting in system audio. Always check both
Signs you need professional help
- Echo persists even after switching to headphones and lowering volume. Others say they always hear echo from you but you do not hear it. The microphone test in Teams settings shows echo.
