Additionally to this instruction I had to change the Spatial sound Type. Just change the selection from Off to Windows Sonic for Headphones or vise versa (!)
It doesn't mean that headphones works only with the particular Spatial sound Type, there is enough just to switch between them. The another interesting thing is, that after I do that change in Spatial sound Type first time and headset works in the particular Teams meating, I am able to switch between those both Types (Off or Windows Sonic.......) without any impact on headset work.
System -> Sound -> Particular Headset -> Spatial sound: Type (droplist)
Sometimes I have to repeat this step.

So in my case, after trying all the unpairing repairing, shutting down Teams and re-open etc..., finally I ended up making it work this way:
- Open Control Panel
- Open Devices and Printer
- Double click the headset to open the <Bluetooth headset> properties
- Go to tab Services
- Uncheck everything except Handsfree Telephony (in my case: Audio Sink, Remote Control, Remotely Controllable Device)
- Apply and close.
Works perfectly now. Looks like Teams "was thinking too hard" about this, and paring it down to the basic functionality gave it no choice.

nathanjfieldyour post gave me some hope, since I already returned my headset to service and got a replacement. But when I tried this fix, I lost the possibility of selecting and using my headset in web Teams. I hope there will be some other solution soon.

nathanjfield This did not work for me with my JBL bluetooth speaker, but thanks for the suggestion.
