My Airpods don't work on Zoom and Skype meetings

I tried using my airpods during zoom meetings. The other end doesn't hear me at all. They are heard some static sound but I do hear them (the audio has this pressing button when they speak)


I went to the service center but they said they can't replicate the issue.


HELP!


Same goes true with skype meetings.


I already checked the settings and it just didn't work.

Hey there jeanrose87,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand you’re having issues with your AirPods and certain apps. I’ll be happy to help with this.


Do your AirPods work with other apps on your iPhone? Do they work when taking a call, listening to music, or watching a video? If so, and they don’t work with just these specific apps, see if these steps help:


Force quit the apps:


How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Restart your iPhone:


Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Check for updates to the apps and your iPhone:


How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Update apps or use automatic downloads


Delete the apps from your iPhone, restart, and install the apps back on to test once more.


If the issue is occurring with more than just those apps and seems to be an issue with your AirPods, try reseting them:


Reset your AirPods


Let me know if this helps.

Hi jeanrose87,


Thanks for clearing up where the issue is occurring. Some apps may let you choose a different audio input and output than what the system is using. If you haven’t already, check the apps settings to make sure this isn’t the case.


Test this in a new user account as well and see if the issue continues there:

If that doesn’t help, go to System Preferences > Bluetooth and forget your AirPods. Restart your Mac, pair them together again, and see if this helps.


Cheers.

Go to Zoom Preferences and set your audio device to Airpods. Happy Zoom-Podding!

Unfortunately i have done it all. I wonder if its an issue with Bluetooth connectivity? Cause when I played music, it works perfectly. Messenger also works perfectly. Just the zoom, skype, loom etc its really not working.

I have done all of that. It works on my phone when I made some calls. It's just in my mac during skype/zoom meetings and loom/screenflow/quicktime recordings.
