Companies are doing some crazy stuff to block other devices. One of the worst things that I have seen is that on MacOS you cannot use the AirPods in a Microsoft Teams call.




I’ve used virtually every version of AirPods with Microsoft teams, including AirPod maxes. I use AirPods with teams calls every day.

Let’s definitely not pretend like Teams isn’t the crappiest app in the Milky Way. Any user issues can be squarely placed on Microsoft teams with confidence. Actual garbage app.


I’ve been using AirPods in macOS in Microsoft Teams call all the time.

Seconding the other user saying that I also use AirPods Pro (2nd gen) in Teams at least twice a day, on macOS, iOS, and Windows (and had used them on android before, as well). Absolutely no issue whatsoever, and everyone mentions I usually have by far the best audio out of anyone else in the call.

What would Apple even gain out of this? They don’t have a competitor to MS Teams, FaceTime is hardly targeting the same segment.


I use them on Teams on macOS (and Windows) every day and is the main reason I have them. What you say is simply not true.
