New Music Mode feature for Teams desktop users

After all the new features they’ve already added to Teams, the tech company is about to roll out a music mode for this application.

According to them, this feature should improve the quality of music during conversations and meetings, while using Microsoft Teams.

To be precise, in music mode, Teams automatically adjusts the audio bit rate.

In music mode, we support mono audio with a sampling frequency of up to 32 kHz at 128 kbps and optimize our internal audio processing settings for reproducing music with hi-fi. Teams automatically adjust the audio bitrate based on the available bandwidth, up to 48 kbps, and still deliver good music quality. We also offer users the option to disable components such as echo suppression, noise cancellation and amplification control if necessary. To take advantage of this improved reliability, professional microphones and headphones or high-quality external speakers are ideal (not Bluetooth headsets). Built-in microphones and speakers on laptops like the Surface Book also make for a good experience.

Keep in the knowledge that the Teams music feature is optional and comes to desktop platforms like Windows 10, Windows 11, and macOS.

With this music mode, the tech giant wants to optimize the system’s audio processing settings to enable hi-fi audio, as the roadmap update indicates.
