If you have two headphones, speakers, or any other Bluetooth hardware, you can now share audio between the two devices simultaneously on a Copilot+ PC.Microsoft is [testing](https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2025/10/31/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-26220-7051-dev-beta-channels/)a new feature called ‘shared audio,’ which is built on top of [Bluetooth LE Audio](https://www.bluetooth.com/learn-about-bluetooth/feature-enhancements/le-audio/) broadcast technology.With Bluetooth LE Audio broadcast technology, Windows can now transmit an audio stream to two Bluetooth devices. Right now, if you have a Bluetooth speaker and an earbud, you can connect only one of them. Even if you manage to connect the two devices, you cannot play audio through both at the same time.This is a limitation of Bluetooth, but newer modems include support for Bluetooth LE Audio broadcast technology.Modern PCs, particularly Copilot+ PCs, have this technology, and Microsoft is finally adding support for shared audio to Windows 11.’Shared audio lets students share music with a friend while studying or brings family members closer by watching a movie together on an airplane,’ Microsoft noted.In Windows 11 Build 26220.7051 (KB5067115), you can turn on the new ‘Shared audio (preview)’ shortcut in quick settings to start sharing audio.  **Shared audio feature in Windows 11**Once you’re sharing the audio, you need to use ‘Stop sharing’ to end the sharing session.Microsoft says support for more devices will be added later, but for now, only these PCs support the shared audio feature:* Surface Laptop, 13.8-inch and 15-inch-* -| Qualcomm Snapdragon X* Surface Laptop for Business, 13.8 and 15-inch-* -| Qualcomm Snapdragon X* Surface Pro, 13-inch-*-* -| Qualcomm Snapdragon X* Surface Pro for Business, 13-inch-*-* -| Qualcomm Snapdragon XComing soon:* Samsung Galaxy Book5 360 -| Intel Core Ultra Series 200* Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro -| Intel Core Ultra Series 200* Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 -| Intel Core Ultra Series 200* Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge -| Qualcomm Snapdragon X* Surface Laptop, 13-inch -| Qualcomm Snapdragon X* Surface Laptop for Business, 13-inch -| Qualcomm Snapdragon X* Surface Pro, 12-inch -| Qualcomm Snapdragon X* Surface Pro for Business, 12-inch -| Qualcomm Snapdragon XRemember that you’ll also need a supported audio accessory.Most Bluetooth devices support Shared audio, such as Galaxy Buds2 Pro, Buds3, and Buds3 Pro.This feature is rolling out to everyone in the Windows Insider Program’s Dev and Beta channel with Windows 11 Build 26220.7051 (KB5067115). ### Related Articles:[Microsoft promises more Copilot features in Microsoft 365 companion apps](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-promises-more-copilot-features-in-microsoft-365-companion-apps/)[Microsoft fixes 0x800F081F errors causing Windows update failures](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-fixes-0x800f081f-errors-causing-windows-update-failures/)[Windows 11 KB5067036 update rolls out Administrator Protection feature](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-11-kb5067036-update-rolls-out-administrator-protection-feature/)[Microsoft adds Copilot voice activation on Windows 11 PCs](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/microsoft-adds-hey-copilot-wake-word-to-windows-11-pcs/)[Windows 11 2025 Update (25H2) is now available, Here’s what’s new](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-11-2025-update-25h2-is-now-available-heres-whats-new/)
