"Auracast allows one device to broadcast audio to an infinite number of Auracast-supported audio receivers, so you can privately share your phone's audio with one friend or with a group of friends. Whatever audio plays on your phone -- music, movies, podcasts, TikTok, or YouTube videos -- will broadcast into your friends' headphones. Once you begin an audio broadcast on your phone, your friends can join by scanning your phone's broadcast QR code or via Google Fast Pair."
"If you've been waiting for technology to evolve so you can easily share audio from one device to two headphones with fewer device ecosystem barriers, the day has come. to Android expands Bluetooth LE Audio to more smartphones and headphones, allowing audio sharing between more consumer audio brands and smartphone models. Bluetooth LE Audio is the Bluetooth protocol that supports Bluetooth Auracast, which is the audio-sharing technology. If your headphones and smartphone support Auracast, you can share audio with friends."
Auracast support is rolling out to more smartphones and headphones via Bluetooth LE Audio, expanding cross-brand audio sharing. A single device can broadcast audio to an unlimited number of Auracast-compatible receivers, allowing private sharing with one friend or large groups. Broadcast audio covers music, movies, podcasts, and streaming video from apps. Listeners join broadcasts by scanning a broadcast QR code or using Google Fast Pair. Support is available on select devices such as Google Pixel 8 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S23–S25 and Z Fold 5–7, plus some Xiaomi and Poco phones. Both phone and headphones must support Auracast to use the feature.
