Play music with high fidelity mode in Microsoft Teams (free)
Applies To
Microsoft Teams Microsoft Teams personalHigh fidelity music mode is used for a richer sound experience when you want to share music with your listeners in a Teams meeting or call. You can use it for online music lessons or transmitting musical performances where you want a richer sound experience. We suggest not enabling this setting for regular calls and meetings with talking only since it'll require more bandwidth and won’t suppress background noises. In this mode, Microsoft Teams (free) supports a 32kHz sampling rate at 128kbps. When network bandwidth is insufficient, the bitrate can be reduced to as low as 48kbps and Teams still produces good-quality audio.
Note: Music mode isn't currently available during Microsoft Teams live events. or when using spatial audio.
