pre-join audio test

The pre-join audio test tag covers a Microsoft Teams feature designed to check microphone audio before a meeting begins. The June 2026 update lets users record a short microphone sample from the meeting join screen and play it back privately, helping them identify audio problems before entering a call. This approach addresses common opening moments such as asking whether others can hear you, while moving basic troubleshooting away from the live meeting. The feature is expected to roll out to commercial tenants worldwide by late June 2026, with government cloud availability following afterward. This tag tracks the feature, its rollout, and its practical role in more confident Teams meeting setup.
