Other ideas online failed, but this works! I was having the hardest time trying to get my Bluetooth headphones (bose 700) to work after my company updated me to Windows 11 on my Dell 5550 laptop. I manually tried updating the Intel Bluetooth and WiFi Drivers from Intel's website. that didn't help. I knew a few others seeing this problem on their own PCs as well. Our headphones would work in browsers, apps in windows 11, but not in MS Teams. We tried many other options until one fixed it... So here it is. Does this work for others as well?
I first go into Bluetooth and Devices.
Then click on View more devices.
Then scroll down and click on More Devices and Printer Settings.
Then I right click on my headphones icon and go to Properties.
Then go to the Services tab and Uncheck the Handsfree Telephony option.
After unchecking this, my headphones work in MS Teams!!

have the Bose Ultra Opens and have the same problem. Turning off handsfree telephony headphones worked but still no microphone :(
This was SO helpful. I've been struggling with this for MONTHS at work and nobody could figure it out. Thank you so so so much.
This worked. Thank you.
But then the headset microphone doesn't work anymore!
I am using wireless buds with headset functionality (EarFun Air Pro 3), and to keep headphone functionality for music playback, I had to leave "Audio Sink" option enabled, only uncheck all of unknown services. Drawback of leaving audio sink enabled is that it's necessary to go into Device settings in Teams and select buds Headset option under speaker settings (which is seen as non-standard setup by Teams), and it needs to be re-done every time after using another "standard" setup with Teams
