After an update sometimes MS Teams will reset your default webcam and microphone. Here’s how to change them back.
First of all there is Microsoft Teams and *New* Microsoft Teams and they are slightly different. Either way open up your version of Teams and click on the 3 dots in the top right. Then select ‘Settings’.
(*New* Teams)

From here you can click on the drop down menus for both your Microphone as well as your speakers. For this example I’m using a headset and so have select Jabra for both.

Now to change the Camera settings we need to scroll down. The process is the same. Select the drop down menu and find your webcam of choice.
