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,
I SOLVED by allowing "nearby devices" in Setting - App - Teams in my Android smartphone
I've run into the same issue and even if I have tried all suggestions, the one that worked for me was to reinstall teams app on the phone and say allow to the nearby devices when was asked in the beginning! was a pain not to have Bluetooth, but now is solved :)
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.

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"
Glad I found this thread. Looking at the App permissions I did not have Nearby Devices enabled.
I nixed all my app data and restarted, and noticed it said this on restart and resync with my Corporate profile:
"Android requires nearby devices access to connect to your Bluetooth headset"
I'm anticipating it will work now I've granted this.
