Updated January 12, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Audio and Video flyouts in Teams enable users to efficiently manage their audio and video settings during meetings. These features are easily accessible, allowing users to control their devices and adjust key audio and video features quickly and effortlessly, without needing to navigate through multiple layers of settings.

Users can access this feature in 3 ways:

• During a meeting, you can access the audio flyout and video flyout by clicking the split button with a downward arrow right next to ‘camera’ and ‘microphone’ in the meeting toolbar.
• From both the audio and video flyouts, you can access audio settings and video settings, which open as panels on the right side of the calling window. You can access these settings by clicking ‘more video options’ and ‘more audio options’ at the bottom of the flyout to open the side panel.
• Users can also access ‘audio settings’ and ‘video effects and settings’ by clicking the ‘more’ menu in the meeting toolbar:
  
  • Audio settings: “More” menu > Audio settings
  • Video effects and settings: “More” menu > “Video effects and settings”

The AV framework is designed for quick access and discovery of Teams’ audio and video features, helping users manage their devices and meeting environment more effortlessly.

In this update, we’re focusing our efforts on 2 key areas: flyouts and panels for audio and video:

• Flyout: A compact pop-over from the meeting toolbar menu, allowing to quickly confirm the state of key settings before turning on camera and microphone.
• Panel: A side panel that opens from the right side of your meeting window and serves as the central hub for all audio and video features.
