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.

    Having this issue as well. I am sometimes able to get bluetooth working if I connect my headset after joining a meeting. Not a great experience, and downright bad for taking calls.

    This seems to be the exact issue in my case.
    If the bluetooth device has the option 'Phone calls' disabled in the device details menu, teams does not recognise it.
    My problem with this, is that having bluetooth headphones with built in microphone, the 'Phone calls' audio quality is much worse than the media audio ( where there is no microphone available ).

    I would like to find an option, to use the phone's built in microphone as an input, and the bluetooth headphones as output (in media audio mode).

    Currently, I'm looking for a 'sound device manager' - like app, that can force input and output devices on a system level. Not sure if such an app exists, but it might solve the issue.

    Let me know if you find anything useful!

    This is what I'm greeted in the bluetooth menu. And you already saw what Teams thinks of this situation :)
