AirPods and Macbook Pro Connection Failed

I get a "connection failed" message when trying to connect my AirPods to my MacBook Pro. I tried the trouble shooting steps list here a couple of times without success. Any thoughts?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0

D. Charge Power:

If that is of no fix, try charging it. Also, try to go into System Preferences, and see if this device is even seen under Sound.
