Microsoft Teams play private sound during meeting

Question

I have tinnitus and when it plays up I like to play some soft white noise in the background to mask the ringing in my ears.
Is there a way to do this while in a teams meeting? Because right now it mutes my white noise which I find uncomfortable.

To be clear, I do not want to share my white noise with the rest of the call, just play it to myself.

Hi @Jeroen ,

I do not want to share my white noise with the rest of the call, just play it to myself.

May I know how you play the white noise?

Based on my test, when using a headset, we can attend a Teams meeting while playing music to ourselves. But if you are listening to music using the speaker on the laptop or computer, the sound would be shared to the other participants as well. So for your situation, I‘d recommend joining meetings using a headset.

Feel free to let me know if I have misunderstood anything.
