Use high-fidelity music mode to play music in Microsoft Teams
Enhance your music experience with the high-fidelity music mode in Teams.
This setting helps you give listeners a better experience when you share sound in Teams.
In this mode, Teams supports a 32kHz sampling rate at 128kbps when network bandwidth allows. The bitrate can be reduced to as low as 48kbps for lower bandwidth situations.
For the best listening experience, use high-quality external audio devices. You can also turn off noise suppression, echo cancellation, and other audio effects. We don't recommend Bluetooth devices.
Note: Music mode isn't currently available during Microsoft Teams live events. or when using spatial audio.
