Starting the meeting
When you start a meeting in Teams, a screen appears where you can choose which camera, microphone, and speakers you want to use.
In principle, you can select the correct settings for the camera, microphone and speakers on this screen. This screen may seem a bit confusing, so if you’re having trouble with it, please move on to the next section.
Selecting the camera
As soon as the meeting has started, select and check that the correct camera is selected. Here’s how to do it.
1. Click on the small down arrow at the top of the bar, to the right of ‘Camera’.
2. Select the connected camera here. In most cases, this will be the Logitech MeetUp.
Other options you may come across in the meeting rooms on campus include:
- Yealink UVC30
- Yealink UVC40
- Yealink UVC86
- Logitech Rally Bar
You’ll always see the camera on your own laptop or other device in this list. Do not select this camera
3. Select ‘None’ under ‘Backgrounds’ so that you appear clear and in focus.
Selecting microphone and speakers
Once you have selected the correct camera, select the microphone you wish to use.
1. Click on the small down arrow at the top of the bar, to the right of ‘Microphone’.
2. First, select where you want the sound to come from under ‘Speaker’. In most cases, this will be the ‘Echo Cancelling Speakerphone Logitech MeetUp’.
Other options you may come across in the meeting rooms on campus include:
- Yealink UVC40
- Logitech Rally Bar
You’ll always see the audio output for your own laptop or other device in this list. So you should never select this one.
3. Now choose the right microphone. In most cases, this will be the Logitech MeetUp Echo Cancelling Speakerphone.
Other options you may come across in the meeting rooms on campus include:
- Samson UB1
- Yealink UVC40
- Yealink UVC86
- Logitech Rally Bar
If there are speakers sitting a long way from the microphone and their voice cannot be heard clearly at the other end, switch off your noise cancellation.
Are you having problems with the hybrid conference system? Try restarting your laptop first.
