If your Chromebook doesn’t have Bluetooth built-in, you can still add it! Here’s how:
First, make sure that your Chromebook is running the latest software version.
To do this, click the clock in the bottom right corner and then click “Settings.” Next, click “About Chrome OS” at the top of the page. If there is an update available, it will start downloading automatically.
Once the update has finished installing, restart your Chromebook.
Now that your Chromebook is up-to-date, you can install a Bluetooth adapter. For this example, we will use a USB Bluetooth adapter.
Plug the adapter into one of your Chromebook’s USB ports and then turn on Bluetooth by clicking the notification area in the bottom right corner and selecting “Bluetooth.” Click the gear icon next to “Bluetooth” and make sure that “Bluetooth Adapter” is turned on.
- Open your Chromebook’s settings
- Click the status area in the bottom-right corner of your screen, where your account picture appears
- Then click the “Settings” icon (it looks like a gear)
- Scroll down and click “Advanced
- In the “Bluetooth” section, turn on Bluetooth
- A message will appear asking if you want to allow your computer to be discoverable by other Bluetooth devices
- Click “Allow
- Your Chromebook will now start scanning for available Bluetooth devices
