Using Laptop's Bluetooth

Post by sletts »

I'm wanting to use my laptop's bluetooth in a virtual machine. Is this possible in a virtual machine (or any other software?)

Your Bluetooth adapter is most probably (if not certainly) a USB device. If there are services/application that are using it, you'll need to stop them if you want to use the adapter in your guest.

Please read the following thread: USB basics and troubleshooting, all of the posts. If you still have a problem after reading through the whole thing, please follow the advice of the last post.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
