Audio output through bluetooth not working in teams app android

Hi

Had the same issue.

Go to the Settings” > “Applications” > find your Teams app from the app entry then tap it.

Then go to the Permissions.

Give permissions for devices nearby.

Go to the 3 dots on the top right corner for opening 'all permissions'.

Make sure permissions for devices nearby are:

find bluetooth devices nearby

connect with coupled bluetooth devices

Try these steps, 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

Same issue as well -- all Bluetooth devices (headsets, car audio) work with other applications but not with teams. When the meeting starts I can link the teams output to the Bluetooth device but after some seconds it gets switched back to device speaker and no Bluetooth device is selectable in teams anymore.

(Galaxy S20+ 5G, One UI-Version 3.1, Android-Version 11, Kernel-Version 4.19.87-22520152)

I have the same problem.

Before I attend a meeting with my Android device, I can select my Bluetooth headset.

After I attend a meeting, I am unable to select my Bluetooth headset. The app simply switches sound back to "speaker" after I select "Bluetooth".

A fix for this: When I disconnect my Bluetooth headset before attending the meeting and reconnect after attending, I can select "Bluetooth".

I have same issue.

I tried to find out what is going on.

phone: Huawei P20 LITE

android: EMUI 9.1.0 (Android Ver 9)

headset: ANKER Soundcore Life U2

First, I connect the bluetooth headset which has BT profile "A2DP sink" and "HFP client".

(cf. A2DP profile is for audio output and HFP(Hands Free Profile) profile is for phone call/talk as headset with microphone.)

I opened BT device control panel of my android smartphone, to see the headset is connected with "media audio" and "call", In Japanese.

Open Teams app and join meeting, then no problem to use BT headset.

Open again BT device control panel, then open configuration (gear icon) of the headset.

Now I can see "Device profile" following three profiles: "talk audio", "media audio" and "sharing contacts"; each has a switch to enable/disable.

Now disable "talk audio", which seems HFP profile.

Then Teams cannot connect BT headset. In the meeting, I can see audio option including BT icon but cannot connect, soon fall back to device audio.

Still the BT headset is connected with "media audio", which seems A2DP profile, so every other application can use the headset as audio output.

Now I concluded that MS teams application only uses BT headset with microphone, HFP profile, but not BT speaker, A2DP profile.

MS Teams application on Windows has option to use any audio output, so one on Android should also have the option to use any audio output as well as headset, I think.
