long story short
- Google is now rolling out Quick Pair more broadly for Android devices.
- All Google TV devices running Android 12 should now support the feature.
Google is now rolling out Quick Pair more broadly to modern Google TV devices. The feature was first announced in 2022 but only came to Chromecast via Google TV last month.
The company is Available now Quick Pair is available on all Google TV-enabled devices running Android 12. This means that if you have a newer Sony or TCL Android TV or Android TV box running Android 12, you should be able to use the Quick Pair feature to pair compatible headphones and earbuds with your Google TV device .
It’s important to note that not all Bluetooth audio devices support quick pairing. But for those that do, like the Pixel Buds or Sony WH-1000XM5, Google TV devices with Android 12 will now automatically recognize available connections. However, you must manually pair the accessory with Google TV the first time. Once you do this, your TV will automatically detect and pair the next time it detects a nearby device.
Google says you can only connect one device to Google TV at a time using Quick Pair. The feature also links your Bluetooth accessories to your Google account, allowing you to easily pair them with other devices and switch between devices.
