Microsoft Teams is getting a new update that will allow users to calls with Bluetooth headsets on Windows PCs. This should be a welcome addition for people using keyboard shortcuts or a mouse to answer, end, or hold calls during Teams calls and meetings.
“For many headsets and speakerphones, this will work without requiring any user action to enable other than pairing the headset or speakerphone with the PC. Watch our certification page for additional information coming soon about devices tested to meet all certification criteria with native Bluetooth connections (w/o a USB dongle),” the company explained on the Microsoft 365 roadmap.
