Teams Auto-Routes Call Audio to Apple Watch Without User Control
Microsoft Teams automatically switches call audio output to a connected Apple Watch when a call is answered, with no way for the user to prevent this behavior. Users who wear smartwatches while working have no preference or override to keep audio on their primary device. The forced audio redirect disrupts call quality and forces manual intervention on every incoming call.
