To do so, click the gear icon on the home screen, then select System &gt; System Update.<\/p>\n<p>While you\u2019re using Bluetooth Audio on Switch, there are some limitations. First, you can only use a maximum of two wireless controllers while a Bluetooth audio device is paired. Second, Bluetooth audio won\u2019t work if you\u2019re using local communication (usually used for ad hoc wireless multiplayer). Third, Switch does not support Bluetooth input devices such as microphones (to do that, you\u2019ll need a special <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> or a wired connection). Nintendo also warns that you might experience audio latency depending on your Bluetooth device.<\/p>\n<p>These limitations suggest that using Bluetooth audio pushes the Switch\u2019s designed hardware capabilities to its limits, and that Nintendo likely didn\u2019t design the Switch with this feature in mind. Still, it\u2019s a welcome addition to the Switch\u2019s capabilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Voice Chat in Nintendo Switch <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a>s<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Connect_a_Bluetooth_Audio_Device_to_Switch\"><\/span>How to Connect a Bluetooth Audio Device to Switch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>First, navigate to your Switch\u2019s home screen.

How to do this varies widely based on the actual device, so you might need to consult the device\u2019s manual.
