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 was just recently able to get this to work by enabling the "nearby device"

    Permission for teams on Android.

    If you reinstall or delete all of the app data it should prompt you for this permission the next time you start teams and sign into your account.

    You can also get to it in the Android settings>applications>teams>permissions

    Hello I had a similar problem on Android in January 2023.

    What I did to resolve was open my paired Bluetooth devices in Android settings, selected the settings for my Bluetooth earbuds, and changed the audio device type from Other to Headphones. I was then able to select my Bluetooth earbuds as the output device in Teams. It may require force closing Teams and reopening.

    I was able to get Teams on Android phone to connect to Bluetooth by going to Setting - Apps - Teams. Then I went to settings here to enable the permission to access Music and Audio. When I relaunched Teams, it connected to my bluetooth.

    Force stop and clearing the teams app storage solved this for me.

    I noticed that it asked me for permissions again the first time I started it back up. Restarting the phone did not help.

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

    That's not what's happening here, it's not a permissions issue. To get Bluetooth to work we have to turn the device's Bluetooth off and back on, then Teams will see the option again in the call or meeting.

    Agreed. If that were the case it would only happen after not using Teams with bluetooth after 90 days of non-use.
