Recording Teams Meetings with OBS and a Bluetooth Headset

I have stumbled again upon this issue with OBS for recording Teams Meetings using a Bluetooth Headset.

Problem description

I wanted to use a Bluetooth headset during a Teams meeting and record the meeting with OBS studio.

In Microsoft Teams you can only choose as Speaker device in the settings the Hands-Free version.

In OBS you have to 'Monitor and Output' the Desktop audio:


And if you want to make it work with the Monitoring set as "Default", 

(This settings allows you to switch devices without having to adapt the OBS configuration)
you have to choose then in your Windows Audio Settings the Hands-Free version i.e. NOT the Stereo one.
