Is it possible to turn off airpods' microphone on Mac ?

This time I am having lot of skype calls (lessons), I use airpods and I turn off the microphone on skype/teams, but the battery of my airpods lasts max 1,8 hour because it still broadcasts the sounds from microphone to Mac. Is it possible to deactivate it totally so I will be able to use Airpods normally for 4 hours ?

Questions: Can the AirPods Max software get an update to make this possible? When will this get done?
