This places a call to a bot called Teams Echo. Last week it was the Announcement feature which I blogged about. As Teams is in constant development, I often find something.
I look around the Teams client often to see if I can spot anything new. I had a look and I definitely have that too. I’ve seen a few tweets about there being a speaker volume slider and a microphone sound meter in the device settings of an active call. And I have definitely missed having the service there. I moved to Teams Only mode a few months ago. Until today, Teams didn’t have this facility. To say that the audio test service is ubiquitous to Skype for Business and even Consumer Skype is an understatement. Just to show that its possible, but also to give the audience a first glimpse of a call and the controls. I also use it in demo’s of Skype for Business or end user training. I do this whether or not I have noise cancelling tech in my headset or endpoint. I also use it when I’m in an unfamiliar area with a lot of noise and want to hear how my surroundings will sound on the call. But also to hear how I might sound to people I speak to while using the device. To test it is actually working for a start. Thousands is probably more or less accurate. I couldn’t even tell you how many times I’ve used the audio test service over the last 10+ years working with Microsoft UC.

You’re greeted with a recording which says… When you click the button, it places a call to an auto answer service in Skype for Business Server and Online. However you get to it, you can check call quality in Skype for Business. Now I think it only exists on the popup menu for devices and forwarding in the lower left. First it was in the device settings page with a button.

That’s how you make a test call in Microsoft Skype for Business. If you click OK, Skype for Business will automatically save your audio device settings. Here you can change the settings of your device, and also make more test calls until you find the audio quality you are satisfied with. If you don’t like how you sound, then you can check your Audio Device Settings by clicking on the Audio Device Icon, and choosing Audio Device Settings. Follow the audio prompts to complete the call and see how you sound. Scroll down and choose Check Call Quality.
