Audio output through bluetooth not working in teams app android

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.

    Hi all,

    it seems that i had similar issues since today and sorted it today. Since today When i am in a teams call i had only 2 options for audio:

    * device

    * speaker

    Usually there was also "* bluetooth" and I assume this was coming with the last Android installation i did on the weekend... potentially Android changed something with auths for apps.

    I was following some instruction from the beginning of this thread and cleard the cache for MS Teams on Android. after restarting MS Teams, Teams requested that MS Teams is allowed to search for nearby devices (i assume that was the one missing -> bluetooth is for nearby devices) and i approved it (i can hardly remembered, that I rejected it the first time). Another authorization request came up to make phone calls, I also allowed in MS Teams. First i was some kind of resistance to grant all those authorization, as i usually question, why this is needed. But based on my experience, when you have any kind of problem, just grant at the beginning all requested authorizations to see if it is working. Afterwards you can limit them again in android settings.

    After that MS Teams showed me in a Teams call the option to choose

    * device

    * speaker

    * bluetooth

    and i was able to join calls again via bluetooth headset. Problem solved... lets see how long.

    Hope that helps anybody having the same problem. I did not read this full thread with 6 pages, but i am really wondering why the MS-Support is not offering this walkthrough and pin it to the top of this thread as a potential solution... but maybe i just missed it. But when users having problems they want to have it sorted fast and not searching 100 of pages for a solution.

    I have the same problem. My bluetooth headset and speakers works fine on my Samsung tablet outside of teams app but when I use teams app, it doesn't work anymore. Why is it so hard for Microsoft to understand the problem we are facing and then fix it?
