Bluetooth headset defaults

Hello,

Got an issue where we have a website we need to use a Bluetooth headset on android. Within Chrome the browser does not let you use the Bluetooth microphone. It seems to default to built in mic on the device.

Is there any way to make the phone default to Bluetooth mic every time all the time? Can we change the audio_policy.conf and make it do this through the root file?

    Hello Max,

     

    You need to ensure some configurations in this case,

    1. Is Bluetooth permission enabled on the device
    2. Does the Chrome/other apps have runtime permissions set to automatically grant or to user choice
      Some of these runtime permissions related to Bluetooth are android.permission.BLUETOOTH, android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN, android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT, etc

     

    If by any chance any of these permissions are disallowed then the Bluetooth mic won't work on the device.
