Bluetooth
A very popular method for streaming audio from a phone to pc is Bluetooth. Bluetooth is a low-power radio technology used to transmit data between devices over short distances. Bluetooth is widely used in headphones, headsets, speakers, and other audio devices.
Check if your phone and computer have Bluetooth
To see if your phone and computer have Bluetooth, find the Bluetooth button on each device. For most computers, it’s in the lower-right corner of the screen. On some keyboards, you may need to press the Fn key to enable Bluetooth.
On a Windows 10 PC:
- Select the Start button, then select Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices.
- Turn on Bluetooth so your PC can discover nearby devices.
- Select Add Bluetooth or other device > Bluetooth.
- Your PC should start scanning for devices and will show them in this list if they’re nearby and turned on with Bluetooth turned on. If you don’t see your device listed, try these steps:
- If you’re using a USB dongle or adapter, unplug it, then plug it back in again.
- Restart your PC, then check that your phone is still paired with your PC. On an iPhone:
- Open Settings and tap Bluetooth near the top of the screen. If you don’t see “Bluetooth,” tap Edit (on some phones) in the upper-right corner of the screen, then tap the plus sign next to “Bluetooth.” 2. Tap the switch next to “Bluetooth” so that it turns green (indicating that it’s on). 3. Look under “Paired devices” or “Other devices” to find nearby devices that you can pair with.”
Make sure Bluetooth is turned on and visible on both devices
Before you can connect two devices via Bluetooth, you’ll need to make sure that Bluetooth is turned on and visible on both devices. To do this, you’ll typically find a Bluetooth button or menu somewhere in the Settings menu of each device.
Once Bluetooth is turned on, you can start connecting devices. To do this, you’ll usually need to put each device into “pairing mode.” This is typically done by going into the Settings menu of each device and finding theBluetooth menu. In this menu, you should see an option to put the device into pairing mode.
Once both devices are in pairing mode, they should be able to find each other and connect automatically. If they don’t connect automatically, you may need to select the devices from a list of available Bluetooth devices on each device.
