How to connect AirPods to Chromebook

• Before beginning with the connecting process, put the AirPods inside their charging case and close the lid.
• You need to make sure that the AirPods are sufficiently charged up before continuing: at least 25% battery life is the recommended minimum, but the more charged the better.

• Once the AirPods battery is sufficiently charged, open the case again.
• Next, press the circular Setup Button on the back of the AirPods case (as pictured) until the light flashes. Newer AirPods and the AirPod Pro typically have this light located on the outside, whereas older models may have it on the inside.

• Open the Quick Settings menu in the bottom right of your Chromebook desktop by clicking on the icon which shows the Wi-Fi connection, battery and time.
• You should see a Bluetooth icon within the menu (as pictured). Make sure this is switched to On using the small drop-down menu beneath the icon.

• Click on the Bluetooth icon in the Quick Menu and your Chromebook should automatically scan for any available Bluetooth devices.
• If the AirPods don’t appear, make sure that the Setup light from Step 2 is still displaying, if not, press the Setup button again.

Select AirPods from the list under the Unpaired devices section, and select Pair.

The process should now be complete! Test your AirPods to make sure they work.

If the AirPods aren’t appearing under Unpaired devices or if they simply won’t connect after you press Pair, try all of the following:

• Check that your AirPods are fully charged and that the Setup Button is still activated.
• Try moving your AirPods to different positions around the Chromebook and trying again.
• Attempt to connect a different device via Bluetooth to your Chromebook to make sure there is not an issue with the Chromebook’s Bluetooth signal.

If all else fails, check out the Apple support page for more info.

If you want to disconnect the AirPods from your Chromebook at any point, simply navigate to the same screen as in Step 5, click on the AirPods underneath the Paired Devices section, then select Remove from list.
