Teams Finally Fixes Embarrassing Meeting Audio Problems

Microsoft is rolling out two notable Teams updates. A pre-join mic and speaker test, arriving on desktop and Mac in May 2026, lets users record and play back a short audio clip before entering a call, eliminating the all-too-common scramble to fix audio issues mid-meeting. A second update introduces privacy-first Copilot meeting recaps that generate AI summaries without storing recordings or transcripts. Rolling out next month with broader availability in June 2026, the feature requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license at $30 per user per month, targeting enterprises with strict compliance needs.
