Microsoft Teams and Apple Airpod compatability

Hi - I use Microsoft Teams regularly (many times a day) to conduct business meetings.  I very recently bought a pair of Apple Airpods (Pro) as my old plug-in headphones stopped working after several years of service.  I run Teams on my Macbook Pro laptop.

Unfortunately, I can't get the Airpods working with Teams.  People in the meeting can hear me perfectly, but I can't hear them.  I'd appreciate it if somebody could offer some advice on how to get this configured.

Thanks.

    This worked even without disabling the iPhone Bluetooth. I removed the AirPods from the iPhone and MacBook. I don't like that I cannot use my AirPods across all of my devices and have to use an old set that I had sitting around.

    If another company comes out with earbuds that are comfortable for all day use and have independent mics, I will quickly jump ship.

    I don't think anyone is concerned about AirPod support on Windows, rather on IOS devices (the largest use case in my company).

    That doesn't help for the "noise cancelling" aspect of the airpods, does it?

    What helped for me was:

    - Disconnect your airpods with your Iphone.

    • Turn off the Bluetooth on your Iphone.
    • Connect your airpods with your laptop/notebook
    • Try to use the airpods with Teams, it worked for me!

    I think the issue is, that when your Iphone is near your laptop, your Airpods want to switch to your iphone.
    Because normally if you use a macbook, switching between the devices is very normal. 

    So first totally disconnect with your Iphone and after that connect with your notebook.

    hopefully this will also work for you!
