Airpods have come in as a great accessory to MacBook devices since its inception with the numerous functionalities that come with it.
You can seamlessly connect your AirPods to your Macbook without breaking any sweat if you follow the steps that will be outlined below.
Connect AirPods with your Mac
It is possible to connect your AirPods directly to your Mac if they are not already connected to your iPhone.
- Open the cover of the case while having the AirPods in the case.
- Until the status light glows white, press and hold either the setup button on the back of the case or the noise control button (on AirPods Max only).
- Click Bluetooth under System Preferences in the Apple menu on your Mac.
- Make sure that Bluetooth is on.
- Click AirPods from the list of devices.
Select Enable to enable Siri to work with your AirPods when you say “Hey Siri,” if your AirPods are compatible.
Perform one of the these when asked if you wish to improve Siri and Dictation:
Exchange audio files: To give Apple permission to record the audio of your interactions with Siri and dictation on this Mac, choose Share Audio Recordings. Apple may examine a clip of the audio that is being stored.
Don’t distribute audio files: Select “Not Now.”
In the Analytics & Improvements area of your privacy options, you can choose to enable or disable sharing of audio recordings if you subsequently change your mind.
You can configure your AirPods to connect automatically or just when they were last linked to your Mac.
