Step 4: After allowing Teams to access your Camera and Microphone, you should see a page with a “name” entry box along with device options. Please enter your name and click the “Join now” button. Note: If you do not see an image of yourself in the small box make sure your camera slider is on (slid to the right). If enabling the camera slider doesn’t show your face go to the “Devices” option and select the appropriate devices.
