When I make calls, I cannot use my laptop's camera or mic. I'm guessing I need to allow access somehow.

    Hello Ryan, My name is Indhurani, I’ll be happy to help you today.

    Yes, you will need to allow access to your camera and microphone in order for Teams to be able to use them. To do this, open the Settings app and select Privacy. From here, select Camera or Microphone and make sure that the toggle is set to On. Then, select the app (Teams) and make sure that the toggle is set to Allow.

    Additionally, you can enable it in the Teams app by selecting the mic, speaker, and camera you want Teams to use for calls and meetings, selecting Settings and more next to your profile picture at the top of Teams, and then choosing Settings > Devices.

    > Under Audio devices, pick the speaker and mic you want Teams to use by default.

    > Under Camera, select the camera you want Teams to use, and see a preview of that camera's video.

    > If you have multiple certified devices connected to your computer, you can set one as your secondary ringer, which means it'll ring when a call comes in. Answer incoming calls on any device—not just the ones that ring.

    Hope it will be fixed. Please let me know if you still need further assistance.
