How to use Amazon Echo as a Bluetooth speaker

The Amazon Echo is more than just a smart speaker. It can also be used as a Bluetooth speaker, helping you play music or audio from your phone, tablet, or laptop. This guide is for anyone looking to get more from their Echo device—whether you are a music lover, someone who attends virtual meetings, or someone who enjoys podcasts and audiobooks. A simple use case could be playing your favourite playlist from a music app that Alexa does not support. In fact, over 80% of smart speaker users in India stream music daily.

If you are planning to buy an Amazon Echo, check your loan eligibility first. It helps you fix a budget and shortlist the right model. Once you know your options, explore the latest Echo devices on Bajaj Mall. Then, visit one of Bajaj Finserv’s 1.5 lakh partner stores in over 4,000 cities. With Easy EMIs and zero down payment on select models, buying your new Echo becomes easy and stress-free.

Using Amazon Echo as a Bluetooth speaker is simple and convenient. It works well with smartphones, laptops, and tablets. You can use it to play music, make voice calls, or listen to audio from apps that are not available on Alexa. This feature is especially useful when you want better sound quality from your Echo device. Echo speakers are compact and energy efficient. That means better sound without a high electricity bill. Once paired, your device connects automatically the next time.

4. Select your Echo device from the list of available Bluetooth devices
