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.

    I had the same issue on Android but managed to fix it by changing my app settings to allow it to "connect to a nearby device"

    Hi,

    the general issue is actually not Microsofts fault. What Android is doing, as I found out, is on a regular basis go over all your App Authorisation settings and removes unused once. So happened to my teams app.

    The solution is go into the app settings of Teams and re-enable the bluetooth authorisation. And when Android gives you the notification that it removed some settings, interact and make sure Teams keeps the access to bluetooth.

    Again, this is not an app fault, it is a core security functionality of never Android OS.

    Cheers,

    Christian

    Hi all,

    I can only join the club. I have for work a Google Pixel 5 with Jabra Evolve 75. This works with EVERYTHING, except (surprise) MS teams. More specifically: They do not work with the MS teams installed by my IT department in the WORK profile.

    In my PERSONAL profile (which is not controlled by the IT department, and where I can install e.g. MS Teams from Google Play), I tested MS teams as well.

    The WORK - MS Teams has NO "Bluetooth", only Device and Speaker. The PERSONAL MS Teams DOES have all expected settings (so, including BT).

    This is the result after closing the WORK app, clearing the cache etc. as suggested in the former messages.

    The Jabra Evolve 75 works with any other app, including e.g. CISCO WebEx Teams from the WORK profile.

    Was fighting with this for a while and finally got it resolved. Posting details in case they useful to others.

    Pixel 6 pro, pixel A-series buds.

    The only process that worked for me was the following:

    • close the app
    • clear the cache and data of the teams app
    • turn on/connected the ear buds
    • now open teams when the ear buds are connected
