Struggling with background noise in Teams meetings?

11 February 2026

Do people often say they can hear background noise on your Teams calls?


Do distractions creep in during meetings, or do voices sometimes fade into the background?

Microsoft Teams includes built‑in features that can help make meetings clearer, calmer and more focused, especially when working in busy or shared spaces.

We’ve created a new 'better teams meetings' Learning Centre page to show you how to:

  • reduce background noise
  • make your voice clearer to others
  • improve meeting experiences in busy rooms.

All settings are optional and quick to set up, and there’s clear guidance on privacy and control.

Find out more and improve your next meeting at the Learning centre.
