Dual Audio: Windows 11 Finally Gets Bluetooth Audio Sharing, But Only for Copilot+ PCs

Dual Audio: Windows 11’s long-awaited Bluetooth audio sharing has begun rolling out to the stable version, but with notable limitations. According to Microsoft, beginning with Windows 11 Build 26220.7051, users can share a single audio stream between two independent wireless devices, enabling shared listening when two headsets or speakers are connected.

However, the feature is currently restricted to Copilot+ PCs equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, with support for other chipsets not yet available as Microsoft works to expand compatibility. Future updates are slated to gradually extend the functionality through driver updates to devices powered by Intel Core Ultra 200 and Qualcomm Snapdragon X series processors.

For those on compatible hardware running Windows Insider Dev or Beta builds, testing guidance is straightforward: connect two wireless headsets, open Quick Settings, select “Share Audio,” and choose the two devices to receive the output. The article notes this feature marks a first step toward broader Bluetooth audio sharing on Windows 11.
