AirPods Won't Work In ZOOM

[RockiesWoman]

I have tried all ZOOM troubleshooting and I have called Apple, however, my AirPods won't connect to ZOOM meetings.  They connect on EVERYTHING else on my MAC and work great, but I need them in use for my ZOOM meetings and they WILL NOT CONNECT even though it shows chosen microphone AirPods, etc.  Any ideas?

Hi RockiesWoman

Thank you for sharing your issue.

Could double check your bluetooth device during the Zoom Meeting?

I have my screenshot that shows my Airpods connected the meeting without issue.

If you choose the correct device during the meeting it will work.

Please double check again.

I've tried every suggestion on here and none of them have worked. ZOOM, when are you going to log defect and actually address this?

open services.msc . check the services that start with bluetooth .. start all of them .. you should be good to go .

I've been having the same issues. My airpods were working fine for a 6+ months and now will not connect. I too have tried all suggestions above. I do not have any other issues with these headphones connecting.

in my case, it only works if I don't add any other bluetooth headphones / speakers connected to my macbook AFTER I reboot it. Have you noticed the same behavior?

The easiest fix is to forget (and not just disconnect) and then re-pair your AirPods.

Ipods worked for years with Zoom, suddenly stopped connecting, just as so many other people have said. All software updated, all troubleshooting completed, ipods work on every other app but not zoom. This is a really bad failure that zoom are not attending to.
