Microsoft Teams Built-In Volume Controls
- Speaker selection: Teams > Settings > Devices > Speaker — choose output device but cannot set a separate volume level.
- Noise suppression: reduces background noise from your microphone only, not output volume.
- No built-in output volume slider: Teams does not expose an independent speaker volume slider separate from the Mac system volume.

Why is Microsoft Teams so loud on Mac compared to other apps?
Teams plays audio at the same level as your Mac's master volume. If Teams meeting audio is louder than other apps, it's because Teams' audio signal is higher amplitude. OddMac Volume Mixer lets you pull Teams' individual slider down while other apps stay at their levels.
Can I boost a quiet Teams meeting on Mac beyond 100%?
Yes. OddMac Volume Mixer can boost any app's audio up to 200%. If meeting participants sound faint, drag the Teams slider past 100% to amplify them without changing your system volume.
