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.

    Since I first posted my query (not to jinx it), so far I am able to connect to my Airpods with no problems. To be clear, there were some adjustments to my environment:

    • There have been several MacOS updates, I am now on 11.4
    • Teams version is 1.4.00.11161
    • I have several other BT devices connected: (Logitech keyboard and Mouse)
    • I have my iPhone and an Android device just beside me.

    I just make sure I don't fidget with my iPhone or hold it up near me while on call so the AirPods doesn't hand-off the connection from the MacBook to the phone.

    It seems improving but will let you know.

    So, can we conclude it's a Teams-issue and not a MacOS-issue of a WindowsOS-issue??

    It seems teams is charging premium from headphone makers and they are charging from us. Popular headphone like bose and airpods won't work but low sales sony work perfectly well with teams. However sony xm4 not made for all day work to wear those big bass drivers only for meetings . I still prefer light weight airpods to all others but then how can companies charge premium in name of team compatibles device ? All other headphone s sales will plummet , this thread is testament to this fact

    This is a puzzle: Airpods work fine with the Zoom and Webex iOS (iPhone) apps, but not with MS teams. it can't be so hard if Cisco (Webex) and Zooms can provide the the required functionality.

    FYI, I'm on the Windows 11 Beta and AirPod Pro's and Teams seem to be working together just fine when paired.
