How does it work? I've never seen it and a Google search doesn't show anything useful. What Bluetooth version?


I went searching for it the other day, and my impression for most tablets/phones is that it's supported at the hardware level by most modern devices, but it needs to be enabled at the OS level. Right now, only Samsung are really doing that, but presumably at some point Android and iOS will have it as a built-in feature as well.

IIUC, this is part of Bluetooth v5, it might specifically be connected to LE Audio, but I don't know the details.


Ok, I found out now that the feature is called "multi-streaming".

"Multi-Stream Audio will enable the transmission of multiple, independent, synchronized audio streams between an audio source device, such as a smartphone, and one or more audio sink devices"
