Hi - I’m a daily user of Win11 and my iPhone 17. For my Microsoft Teams meetings on my PC laptop I use
my AirPods Pro series 3, and the second after I would like to switch to my iPhone, when necessary.

Is there a way to connect to my AirPods from Shortcuts?

This is so easy to do on iOS/iPadOS using native shortcuts features, specifically “Change Playback Destination” however this isn’t implemented on MacOS sadly.

Best option I’ve found, is a little utility called “Switch Audio Source” that you can install via Homebrew.

Then you just need to use a script like the following in Shortcuts (or whatever automation tool you are using).

/opt/homebrew/bin/switchaudiosource -s “insert_name_of_airpods”

It’s a shame that native CLI control isn’t part of MacOS.
