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.

    well, in my case I found the culprit. It was the bluetooth connection of the Withings Smartwatch which blocked not only Teams but also disabled the bluetooth connection to my car. Interesting enough is that apart from Teams and Phone, all other bluetootha applications were not in trouble, so I could listen to spotify, youtube and otehr music on my phone with bluetooth, but as said, Teams stopped working on Bluetooth. Very mysterious. Just deleting the bluetooth connection to the Withings watch was not enough though. I had to reset the watch to make sure it would not attempt connecting. Once the bluetooth pairing on both sides was gone, Teams worked again without trouble with all bluetooth devices. I really don;t know who's to blame, Micrsoft or Withings.

    Same here, brand new phone and install, no other bluetooth devices paired. It simply won't switch to bluetooth audio output, reverts to "Device". All else works.

    I have the same issue but couldn't find any solution.

    There is a workaround I found accidentally, while you are in the teams meeting/call make a cell call to anyone and cut the call, to my surprise MS teams starts pushing audio out of the Bluetooth earphone.
