How to Connect AirPods to Zoom?

Share This:

Are you having trouble connecting your AirPods to Zoom? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Many Zoom users have reported difficulty connecting their AirPods to the app. This can be frustrating, especially if you rely on a good-quality audio connection while working remotely.

Luckily, there are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem and get your AirPods up and running with Zoom. First, it is important to make sure that your AirPods are not connected to any other Bluetooth devices. If they are connected, turn off the Bluetooth on those devices so that your AirPods aren’t trying to connect to them as well.

Once you’ve done that, open the Zoom app and click on Settings then Preferences -> Audio. Check which device is listed beside the Microphone and Speaker headings. If your AirPods show up next to both headings then all of your audio settings have been successfully directed towards them.

If they don’t appear in either heading, try resetting your AirPods by pressing and holding the setup button on the back of the case for at least 15 seconds until the light flashes amber a few times. Then press and hold the setup button again until it flashes white and wait for it to appear in your device list in Zoom.

If none of these steps work, it may be time to look into purchasing a new pair of headphones compatible with Zoom or considering another connection option such as USB or an auxiliary cord instead of Bluetooth.

We hope this information has been helpful in getting your AirPods working with Zoom! Good luck!

To get your AirPods to work on Zoom, you will need to make sure that your Zoom audio settings are directed to them. To do this, open the Zoom app, go to Settings, and click Preferences -> Audio. Check which device is listed beside the Microphone and Speaker headings. If your AirPods are listed there, all of your Zoom audio settings have been correctly set up and you should be able to use your AirPods with Zoom. If they are not listed, select them from the drop-down list and then press OK. This should direct all of your Zoom audio settings to your AirPods and allow you to use them with Zoom.

Troubleshooting Bluetooth Connection Issues with Zoom

There are several possible reasons why your BlueTooth may not be connecting to Zoom. First, make sure that your BlueTooth headphones or other device is turned on and connected properly. Then, check to see if Zoom is set up to output audio to the correct device. In Zoom -> Settings -> Audio there is an option for the Speaker. If this is set to ‘Same as System’, then it should switch to your BlueTooth headphones if that’s where your OS is set to. Additionally, check that you have the latest version of Zoom installed, as well as the latest firmware on your Bluetooth device. If all of these are up-to-date and configured correctly, and you’re still having issues connecting, then you may need to reset or re-pair your Bluetooth device with Zoom.
