There are two flags that may be set when installing teams, **ALLUSER=1** and **ALLUSERS=1**. It is important to understand the difference between these parameters. The **ALLUSER=1** parameter is used only in VDI environments to specify a per-machine installation. The **ALLUSERS=1** parameter can be used in non-VDI and VDI environments. When you set this parameter, **Teams Machine-Wide Installer** appears in Program and Features in Control Panel as well as Apps & features in Windows Settings.

If media optimizations loaded, the audio devices and cameras available locally will be enumerated in the device menu. If the menu shows **Remote audio**, quit the Teams app and try again. If the devices still don't appear in the menu, check the Privacy settings on your local PC. Ensure the under **Settings** > **Privacy** > **App permissions - Microphone** the setting **"Allow apps to access your microphone"** is toggled **On**. Disconnect from the remote session, then reconnect and check the audio and video devices again. To join calls and meetings with video, you must also grant permission for apps to access your camera.
