Solved! AUX to Bluetooth Zoom Call Headset

[kwjflies]

I would like to use my bluetooth earbuds for Zoom meetings on work laptop. Problem is my work laptop has its bluetooth locked down by our IT group. I tried getting around this by getting a USB Bluetooth dongle but that didn't work either and my work confirmed it's blocked as well. Is there a way around this using an AUX to bluetooth adapter? I've seen several options that appear to be designed to turn wired headphones into "wireless" but I'm looking for something that will plug into the AUX jack on my laptop and transmit/receive bluetooth from my wireless earbuds. Is there a solution out there for me or am I stuck pushing the call audio to my phone and connect to my earbuds from there?

That's the type of device I found as well but I can't tell if it will work with a headset. It looks like it might transmit audio to a bluetooth capable device like a phone or tablet but how would I connect a headset back to this device. There's no display, etc.
