Camera and Microphone Issues in Teams
When you try to use a camera or microphone in a Teams meeting, Teams should prompt you to allow access to that peripheral. If you have ever denied this access, Teams will not ask again, and you may have trouble using these tools. Correct that with these instructions.
This article applies to: Microsoft Teams

You need this function ON to enable screen sharing on your device. Cornell-managed devices allow this by default, so you should only need to make adjustments on personal devices.
To adjust this setting:
- From the Apple menu select System Settings
- Select Privacy & Security
- Select Screen & System Audio Recording
- Find Teams and toggle the device to on (slider to the right)
- If Teams is not on that list, click the icon to add Teams.
