MS Teams - Intermittent audio/video

toujoursjamie — Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:46:59 GMT

I've noticed that since joining Sky, I consistent experience issues on video calls on MS Teams. Every few minutes, the audio will become scattered and unintelligible and the video will freeze. It lasts for maybe 10-15 seconds and then it goes back to normal, then repeats after 5 minutes or so.

This only happens on MS Teams, and only when connected to my home WiFi (not at the office or when using another WiFi connection, so unlikely to be a Teams issue). I don't experience any other issues with my Sky broadband connection.

I have a feeling it may be the VPN I have to connect to for work - upload/download speed drops when I'm connected. I don't have to connect to the VPN when I'm at the office so that explains why it doesn't happen there.

Connected

Upload 6.36 Mpbs

Download 38.96 Mbps

Disconnected

Upload 40.11 Mbps

Download 46.81 Mbps

Do I need to disconnect from my VPN every time I use Teams to fix this? This would mean I can't access any of my organisation's systems or files. Is there another explanation or solution to this?

Thanks.

I'm having the same issue, I have changed laptops and the laptop works well when not at home. My phone WiFi connection also has this issue on occasion so I have to turn off WiFi to go to 5g at times. I have a high bandwidth and not many devices online and using much of it during work hours. Any help appreciated.
