FaceTime lowers the volume of other apps

I'm a Sign Language Interpreter. I'm trying to listen to a MS Teams call and interpret for a Deaf client in FaceTime. Unfortunately, FaceTime lowers the volume on MS Teams so it is difficult to hear clearly even with the volume maxed out. Is it possible to toggle this feature on and off as needed?

Mac Studio, macOS 14.4

Other Apps Audio Issue During FaceTime Call Sometimes when I’m on a FaceTime call with my boyfriend, I’ll usually turn to TikTok to keep myself busy while he’s taking care of something off camera. When scrolling through TikTok or I go on other apps while on the call, the volume automatically goes to full blast and I end up having to turn it down, but because I turn it down, I end up not hearing when my boyfriend calls out to me. I just recently upgraded my iPhone XS Max to the iPhone 14 Pro Max so there’s some getting used to the new changes. Is there a way I can turn down the volume on other apps and/or turn up the volume on FaceTime?

Volume lowers Automatically on FaceTime I have an issue that only occurs during a FaceTime call where my volume will lower itself when audio is played. For example, if I watch a video during the call it would lower them volume significantly and when turned back up to the original volume it lowers itself again. Another occurrence that it also does the same is if the person on the other end of the call starts to share their screen the volume goes down. I’ve looked up a few things about it such as the “Reduced loud sounds” settings (which is off) but had no luck. Maybe I’m missing something that someone could help me find the answer too or point me in the right direction.
