Microsoft Teams Setup

MuteDeck detects and controls the Teams desktop app through its interface. You do not need to enable the old Teams third-party API or generate a Teams API token.

Set Up Teams​

  1. Open Settings → Application Sync in MuteDeck.
  2. Turn on Enable Microsoft Teams.
  3. Set Language to the language displayed in Teams. Auto (system language) uses your Windows or macOS language; choose a language explicitly if Teams uses a different one.
  4. Join a test meeting and try the mute and camera controls.

Supported Teams languages are English, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Spanish, and Swedish. Swedish and Hungarian support was added in v4.13, alongside fixes to Japanese mute, share, and recording labels.

A Call Is Detected but the Buttons Are Grey​

In v4.13, MuteDeck can detect a Teams call even when it cannot read the controls in the selected language. It now shows a language message with a link to the setting instead of only showing grey buttons.

  1. Follow the link in the message, or open Settings → Application Sync.
  2. Set the Teams Language to match the language Teams actually displays.
  3. If that language is unsupported, change Teams to a supported language and select the same language in MuteDeck.
  4. Follow any restart prompt in Teams, then try another call.

Teams in a Browser​

For the web version of Teams, use the MuteDeck browser extension. The desktop language setting above applies to the Teams desktop app.
