If you have multiple rooms and you only have one Alexa in one room, You can add a Bluetooth speaker to Alexa. You can listen to your podcasts or music in another room.
Adding a Bluetooth speaker, can be confusing or misleading, however. It can be misleading because there are other options that may seem like it should connect your Bluetooth speaker, but it does not.
There are other options for example if you go to add a new device on the Alexa app to add a blue tooth speaker to Alexa, Alexa will not be able to add the blue tooth speaker. The app will be on the discover step process and it will never find the device.
In order to add a blue tooth speaker:
- The 3 lines at the bottom. If they update the app, the 3 lines might be in another location.
- Then go to settings.
- Device settings
- Select your echo dot
Then you will see a menu called Bluetooth connections. This is how you will connect your Bluetooth speaker. Just click on connect device and turn on your speaker and make sure it is on blue tooth pairing mode, and it should connect.
