I  am  using Teams  app  android  to  attend  my online classes  but I am facing issues  with bluetooth speaker. I wanted  to  use  Nest  mini  for  audio  output so  I   paired  to  it through bluetooth  on  my android device and  audio  output of  all  the  apps  work  except teams. This  issue  seems  to  be  only  on  android  app  because on  the  desktop app on  windows 10 the  same  speaker  works  absolutely fine. In  the  android app  when  I  try  to  switch  the  audio  output to  bluetooth, within  a  second it  switches  back  to  device  audio. I  tried on another android device as  well  but no luck. I  am  running the  latest  teams  version  (as  no  updates  available in  Play  store). Any  help  is  welcome.

    I am facing this issue only in android devices and Bluetooth is connected to the device and Mobile teams is not recognize it or not connecting through it.

    Even after disconnecting from Bluetooth, even speaker option is not working as expected

    It works only over the phone speaker and not even works on open speaker in mobile devices.

    This needs to considered as priority as it has impact on almost all the users.

    Regards,

    I've been struggling with this problem for a while until I finally found a solution that worked for me. Hope it helps other people here too.

    Go to Settings -> Apps -> Teams -> Permissions -> Allow access to "Nearby devices"

    After that restart Teams app and you should get the option of choosing Bluetooth device for audio output during a call.

    Amazing - thank you!!!!!!!

    This one works for me!

    • Go to Settings -> Apps -> Teams
    • Click Permissions
    • Make sure that Nearby Devices is allowed
    • Restart bluetooth headset
    • Close Teams and open again

    This worked for me also! This was so frustrating and I assumed it was my organization's permissions. But nope- just an android setting. I also cleared the Teams Cache prior to doing this, not sure if that helped also or if it was unrelated.
