Step 1: From the Teams control bar select the settings icon and from the menu select Show device settings.
Step 2: In the settings area, select the ExtronscalerD option from the Speaker dropdown menu.
A remote attendee should now be able to speak directly to the room.
- Avoiding Audio Feedback - Mute attendees
Mute the noisy attendees. Tired of hearing a dog barking? In large meetings (> 5 people), anyone who joins after the meeting has started, will join as muted thereby reducing noise in the meeting. Further, if you notice any noise from others, you can mute that person, or mute everyone, easily from the roster. If someone has been muted, they'll get a notification letting them know. They'll be able to unmute themselves if they need to be heard. If you ever need to mute all the other participants in a meeting, head to your meeting roster and select ‘Mute all’. Everyone will get a notification and be able to unmute themselves if they need to.
