My computer is closed and just connected to monitors it’s not even in front of me. I can usually dial in to all my meetings but sometimes client invites on Microsoft Teams have no dial in. Is there some device I can plug in that’s both a speaker and a microphone without creating echo? Don’t roast just helpful comments thanks.

Bluetooth headphones would work and are really common (they might not as relaxed as Bluetooth speaker but available all over Amazon)

I'd recommend either a Bluetooth speaker that has a microphone or just get a headset. I've got a similar setup as you and use a USB headset for all of my calls, as we use Teams exclusively.

I use one of these. https://www.eposaudio.com/en/us/enterprise/speakerphones/portable

Use your phone. You can have teams call your phone for the audio.
