If you are having problems with Teams call quality, the best way to resolve your issue is by using a test call. A test call will allow you to check all the features of Microsoft Teams are working as expected.

To make a test call with the desktop client, click the ellipsis (3 dots) next to yourÌýpicture (avatar) in the top bar and select Settings, then Devices. Make sure that the right audio devices are selected for the test and then clickÌýMake a test call.

Teams will then makes the test call to automated service (bot). The automated service answers and allows you to record some words before playing the words back to you to check if the quality is acceptable. At the end of the call, you will see your test results.

This will give you a good indication of your connection status and will identify if there is issue particularity with your network.

When working remotely there are some considerations you will need to be to aware of:

Your home or remote network connection.

Microsoft teams relies on your remote connection to connect with other staff. If you're having issues with your calls dropping or having poor quality you can try the following to resolve the issue.

• Making an audio call rather than a video call.
• Move closer to your local network hotspot (Wi-Fi router).
• If possible try connecting to your internet via cable rather than Wi-Fi.
• If you share your home network with others in your household you may lose quality if someone else is performing a high bandwidth task (i.e., Download update or watching YouTube).
• If you have other nonessential apps (i.e., Spotify, YouTube) running in the background. This may impact your call performance. Try shutting down these applications to see if this improves the performance of your call.
