0Bluetooth Not Working on macOS Big Sur FIX.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows your Mac and devices to communicate without using cables.
To use a Bluetooth audio device such as a headset or speakers, you must first connect the device with your Mac, then select the device as your input or output device.
Issues addressed in this tutorial:
A Mac, whether it’s an iMac, a Mac Mini, or a MacBook, all support Bluetooth. Apple makes a few Bluetooth peripherals that are meant to be used with it but since it’s Bluetooth, you aren’t restricted to just using Apple’s keyboard, Magic trackpad, or the AirPods. You can use whatever peripheral you want. Here’s how you can pair and connect a Bluetooth device on macOS.
Turn on Bluetooth
Bluetooth is normally on, on a Mac however, you should check it just to be sure. Open the System Preferences and go to the Bluetooth preference. If Bluetooth is Off, you’ll see a button to turn it On. Additionally, if you’ve added the Bluetooth button to the menu bar, you can click it and there will be an option to turn it on in the menu.
