Bluetooth device keeps getting disconnected during Teams meetings

Hi,

I use the wireless JBL Endurance Sprint Headphones to connect to meetings on my Teams app on my work laptop.

This was working fine until a few days ago. But, from the past few days my headphones gets disconnected every few seconds.

This is terribly agonizing - I can't hear the audio and get tuned out from  the conversation. I need to turn on my headphones again every time it gets disconnected. I end up losing parts of the conversation and it gets extremely awkward frequently requesting the other person to repeat what they said.

I initially thought it might be my headphones, but it works really well with the same laptop on other applications. Works fine on other devices too.

I tried updating driver software for my Bluetooth device. Looks like it's up-to-date.

I have no idea how to fix this.

Similar questions had answers to uncheck the "Disable bluetooth device for power savings" under Power Management Tab ( Device Manager -> Bluetooth-> Adapter-> Properties). I don't see this tab anymore

Please help fix this ASAP.

    I also experience the same issue, same devices.  Drivers and Teams are up to date.  Teams disconnects but when using any other application it does not.  This is obviously a problem for a lot of users, can this please be addressed and a response given?  It would be easy to verify the issue exists.

    I have the same problem with my headphones disconnecting 15 minutes into my Teams meetings, but only my Beoplay E8. No problem at all with my QC35 II... I keep the Bose headset off, so nothing is connected to Bluetooth beyond the B&O.

    Since mid oktober I have exactly the same issue as described here. I use a Bose QC Headset and get disconnected every 20min. Very annoying especially during client calls. It just happens with Teams and I do not have another headset connected

    Microsoft Teams [App] disconnects my Bluetooth headset [Bose] after 20 minutes in a meeting.  Two different computers.  One "solution" suggested here was to use a Bluetooth dongle instead of the on-board unit.  I purchased a USB dongle and configured it.  First meeting [just now] headset worked for 20 minutes.  COME ON, MICROSOFT, DO YOU EVEN *DO* SOFTWARE?

    ***Update***  Bose updater website found, updated firmware appears to have solved the issue; since updating from v1.0.8 to v3.0.3, have made it through several Teams meetings exceeding 30 minutes without problem.

    I'm now having it happen with just the Teams in a browser session.....

    I have a ms surface mouse, ms surface keyboard and I'm using Sony WH-1000MX3 bluetooth headphones.

    Headphones keep working, but mouse and keyboard stop.

    Leave meeting....and then the keyboard and mouse start working again!

    MICROSOFT - Can you help fix this?
