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.

    I have to do this A LOT!  It will work for maybe one call/meeting, and then it stops working.

    Thanks for your reply. Since my original posting, I have had some success with the issue. Before my Teams meeting, I check that the airpods are paired with the Bluetooth on my Win 10 laptop. In the devices the airpods have to show as connected to both voice and music. If just voice, they will not work in Teams for me. Then I go into Teams and in settings | devices make sure the speaker is the airpods. It gets a little weird here because airpods is usually listed twice and I have to select the second option which is the one with (stereo) at the end to hear anything. I get no sound with the first selection. That seems to work well most of the time now, although occasionally the connection will drop which buggers up all audio on the computer (not just in Teams) and I have to reboot the computer. Doesn't happen often but an annoying disruption to my meeting when it does. The airpods have never worked for me as the microphone, but I use my webcam speaker for that by selecting it in devices in Teams (in reality it usually defaults to it for the microphone) and that combination seems to work. Don't get me started on poor connectivity of the airpods with my iPhone and iPad. That's the worst and puzzling given they're all Apple products.

    I

    Can you be more specific on how to change the profile ?

    I'm trying to use my new Airpods pro with Teams on Windows 10.  I read a lot of comments on the Web but it is the first time i see that kind of information.

    Thanking you in advance.

    For the current situation, Airpods/ Airpods Pro are not in the list of Teams fully supported devices: USB audio and video devices.

    Maybe the reason why Airpods are not listed as supported USB audio and video devices is that they are not USB devices at all.

    Best Regards,

    Sébastien
