Microsoft Teams - improving audio/video

[E_G_R2]

Hi,

 

we aim to provide one to one music tuition and were hoping to use Teams to do so as it is all withing the schools IT system and thus there will be a record of time, place and attendees etc..

 

Unfortunately our music tutors are saying that the audio/video provided via a Teams meeting is not as good as that provided by Zoom or other video platforms. For instance they can not fine tune the microphones etc..

 

I relies that Teams is probably the best medium for delivering one to one music tuition but the general feeling is that by using something like we could open ourselves up to safeguarding issues in the future.

 

Is it possible to improve the audio/video in the back end or does it improve if you move from Basic Free to something like Education E5?

Main thing seems to be there's no option to turn off the microphone auto adjust level in Teams, web or desktop client.

I'm begging to think that for one to one music tuition with all the variation in sound etc that Teams may not be the future (but we may have to make do)

I find the video and audio behaves better using the teams app (which is just embedded chrome) but for music it's going too be poor, heavy squelching, voice optimized codec, full auto volume level. Headset improves call quality a lot though.

If you need major fine grain input control maybe need to run stuff through a mixer / system first before sending to Teams then you have more control and whilst it still will have some of the auto features it may not interfear as much?
