Audio output through bluetooth not working in teams app android

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.

    Same issue here. Bose headset connected til Pixel 6. Headset works with all other apps on android phone, when connecting to a teams meeting it does not use my headset, in fact bluetooth is not even an option. Certainly a teams bug.

    This works for me. Thanks for the solution.

    Don't forget to restart the app.

    Hi Regie S

    This occurs for quite some time, with every Bluetooth headset device connected to my Android phone (Galaxy S9+).
    Both regular headset / headphones, and car handsfree.

    The call starts with the bluetooth connected and selected as the audio output device.

    After some time (seconds / minutes) Teams switches to the phone audio, and the bluetooth option disappears from the audio output dropdown list.

    This, of course, is accompanied by some time when you do not hear the meeting, and try to understand why nobody is talking. Very annoying.

    Just to clarify - the bluetooth device is still connected to the phone and works with every other app, but not with teams.

    p.s.

    Maybe related: similar issue when casting my Android screen to TV. Other apps use the TV's audio, but Teams only uses the phone audio.

    Regards,

    Tom

    I am also experiencing this issue -- Pixel 6, Sony 1000XM4.
    Resetting/Reinstalling Teams data every time I turn on my headset is not sustainable, as I don't have enough time to do that between meetings. I have been having this issue since the beginning of November also. Please fix bluetooth profile support. Thank you.

    Same issue - on one hand, glad to know it isn't just me. On the other, I really need this functionality to work. (Amazon Earbuds v.2 on Pixel 5)
