How to Connect Bluetooth Speaker to Laptop
On Windows
Turn on your Bluetooth speaker. Press the "Power" button to turn on the speaker. Different speaker models may differ slightly in the way they turn on. If that doesn't work, you can refer to the speaker's user manual.
In case the speaker needs to be plugged in, be sure to do so before continuing.
During pairing, you should also place the speaker as close to the laptop as possible.
Open the Start menu on your computer. Click the Windows logo in the lower left corner of the screen.
Click Settings in the lower-left corner of the Start window.
Click the Devices option near the top of the Settings page.
Tap Bluetooth & other devices (Bluetooth & other devices). It's the tab on the left side of the Devices page.
Turn on Bluetooth. Tap the "Off" switch located below the "Bluetooth" section near the top of the page to turn Bluetooth on.
If the word "On" appears on the right side of this switch, Bluetooth is turned on.
Tap the "Pair" button on the speaker. At this point, the speaker will start looking for a Bluetooth connection (such as your computer) to connect. Different speakers have different layouts and designs. Therefore, consult the user manual if your "Pair" button cannot be found.
Click the + Add Bluetooth or other device button located at the top of the page.
Click the Bluetooth option at the top of the Add a Device window.
Click your speaker's name. The name of the speaker will quickly appear in the window. At this point, click on the name to select the speaker.
Most likely speaker brand and model will be displayed.
Click Pair on the right, under the speaker name tag located in the window to connect the speaker to the computer. You should now be able to listen to your computer's music and audio files with your speakers.
On Mac
Turn on the Bluetooth speaker. Press the "Power" button to turn on the speaker. Different speaker models may differ slightly in the way they turn on. If that doesn't work, you can refer to the speaker's user manual.
In the event that the speaker needs to be plugged in, be sure to do so before continuing.
During pairing, you should also place the speaker as close to the laptop as possible.
Tap the Bluetooth icon located at the top right of the Mac screen. A new menu will be dropped down.
If you can't find it in the menu bar, open the Apple menu, click System Preferences, then Bluetooth.
Click Open Bluetooth Preferences… at the bottom of the drop-down menu. The Bluetooth setup menu will be displayed.
Skip this step if you open the Bluetooth settings menu from System Preferences.
Turn on Bluetooth if it's not already on. Click the Turn Bluetooth On button on the left side of the window. If here is Turn Bluetooth Off instead of Turn Bluetooth On, it means that Bluetooth is already on.
Tap the "Pair" button on the speaker. The speaker will start looking for a Bluetooth connection (such as your computer) to connect. The found Bluetooth connection will now appear in the "Devices" section of the Bluetooth window. Different speakers have different layouts and designs, so if you can't find the "Pair" button, refer to the user manual.
You may even have to hold down the "Pair" button.
Click the Pair button to the right of the speaker's name in the "Devices" section of the Bluetooth window. The computer and the speaker will connect in a few seconds. When the connection is complete, you'll hear the music contained on your Mac using the Bluetooth speaker.
