How to Use AirPods With a Zoom Meeting
To use AirPods with Zoom, all you need to do is connect the AirPods to your device and change your Zoom settings to use the AirPods. These instructions explain how to do this using a Mac, but the basic ideas are the same on Windows and other devices. The main difference is how you connect the AirPods to your device. Once you’ve done that, the Zoom settings are the same.
How to Fix Problems with AirPods and Zoom
If you’ve followed the steps above and aren’t able to use AirPods with Zoom, or the connection works but the audio quality is poor, try these troubleshooting steps:
Ensure the AirPods are connected to the right device. AirPods can be connected to all kinds of devices. If you not getting Zoom audio to them, make sure they’re connected to the device that you’re using for the Zoom call. Set AirPods as System Audio Output. If you’re not hearing Zoom audio in your AirPods, try setting your device’s system audio output to the AirPods. When you do this, all audio from your device goes to the AirPods, not just Zoom audio. On a Mac, select the speaker icon in the top-left corner > AirPods. On Windows, select the speaker icon in the bottom-right > AirPods. On iPhone and iPad, open Control Center > long press the top-right corner of the music controls > AirPods. On Android, start playing music > swipe down to open notifications > circle icon in music controls > AirPods. Toggle Bluetooth on and off. If your AirPods aren’t connecting to your device properly, try turning Bluetooth off, waiting a few seconds, and turning it back on again. After a reset, things should work. Unpair and re-pair AirPods. If your AirPods won’t connect to your device at all, you may need to set them up again. Delete them from your device’s Bluetooth settings and then follow the connection process again. Only one of the AirPods works. This happens more often than we’d like, but if only one AirPod is working, try these steps to get the other working again.
