Once enabled, simply click the ellipses (…) of the video feed you want to send out, select ‘Send Video to Hardware’, and pick your hardware device. To enable this feature, turn on the ‘Allow Video-Out from Hardware’ meeting policy from the A/V section. When you connect a supported hardware device, Teams will recognise the hardware and enable sending of an individual’s media stream out to the hardware directly as a clean feed. Microsoft has partnered with two industry leaders in the video and audio market, AJA and Blackmagic Design, to provide hardware-out functionality with Microsoft Teams and select hardware devices. Production teams can better manage their workflow and use Microsoft Teams as a contributing source for their broadcasts. Hardware-Out with AJA and Blackmagic Design Hardware This capability is enabled within the meeting settings and is available as a public preview currently. If broadcasters use Network Device Interface (NDI) or hardware-out, they will be able to capture the isolated audio feed along with the isolated video feed from any Teams meeting, enabling full control of both the feeds going into their studio.
Isolated audio feed capabilitiesīroadcasters now can create a high-quality, clean audio mix with the new isolated audio feed capabilities in Microsoft Teams. Simply go to your Device Settings and toggle off ‘Mirror my video’. By providing you with the option to un-mirror, you will be able to see the text correctly. If you’re conducting a video meeting with a client using a whiteboard, or you have a virtual background with your logo in it, while the meeting audience sees the text correctly, you see the text flipped, which can be distracting. You no longer have to see the text in your video flipped. The optimised experience in Teams applies to signals captured by microphones as well as audio played while sharing an application or desktop. High-fidelity music mode enables significantly improved audio quality in Teams calls and meetings. High-fidelity music mode enables Microsoft Teams users to experience richer sound when sharing non-speech content such as live music, songs through other applications, or medical signals during a virtual appointment with a physician. Note that blurring or replacing your background may not prevent sensitive information from being visible to other people in the meeting, contact us directly if privacy in video meetings is an issue in your business that you would like to resolve. You can blur your background or select from Microsoft-provided backgrounds during your video meeting or call, making your meetings more personal. Custom background on webĬustom backgrounds are now available to web users. To disable, go to your Teams Settings > Privacy section and uncheck the ‘Keyboard’ shortcut to unmute. You can now use a shortcut to unmute by holding down the Ctrl+Space keys (Windows) or Option+Space keys (macOS), then release the keys to go back to muted state again. Stay muted to avoid unwanted background noise during a meeting and rapidly respond when called upon. The new release includes changes to video mirroring, the walkie talkie app and a new ‘front row’ layout for video meetings. This month Microsoft releases new capabilities for speakers and attendees to be more engaged with audiences, allowing for fewer distractions and more inclusive behaviours.
