Google Pixel Buds Pro allows you to seamlessly switch between devices with Multipoint connectivity and audio switch. Both can be on at the same time, and having Multipoint turned on may make audio switch faster. Multipoint lets you maintain connections to two audio sources at the same time while audio switch works with many supported audio sources that are connected to the same Google account. These audio sources are the devices playing the audio, such as your phone, laptop, watch, or TV. If you end a video call on your laptop to head out on a walk and listen to music, you won’t need to open your Bluetooth® settings.
Multipoint connectivity
Pixel Buds Pro can automatically switch between two concurrently paired Bluetooth devices — including laptops, tablets, TVs, and Android and iOS phones.

- Wear your Pixel Buds Pro buds.
- If Pixel Buds Pro buds aren’t already connected to your first device, go into the audio source’s Bluetooth settings and connect to your Pixel Buds Pro.
- If Pixel Buds Pro buds aren’t already connected to your second device, go into the audio source’s Bluetooth settings and connect to your Pixel Buds Pro.
- Both audio sources should now be connected to Pixel Buds Pro.
How Multipoint works
To make sure that Pixel Buds Pro only switch devices when you want them to switch, they follow a set of guidelines:
- Phone calls or video calls take precedent over Assistant and Assistant will take precedent over media like music, notifications, and system sounds. If you were listening to music and you get a phone call on the other connected audio source, the music will pause and you will hear the phone call or video call. After your call ends, you can tap the earbud to resume music playback on your previous audio source.
- On-going music or video media from one audio source can not be interrupted by the other audio source. Playback on one audio source has to be paused before you can start playing music from the other audio source.
Audio switch
Android devices running Google Play Services and Android 8+ can switch seamlessly between Fast paired devices based on what you’re doing. Audio switch is on by default.

How audio switch works
To make sure that Pixel Buds Pro only switch devices when you want them to switch, they follow a set of guidelines:
- The order of priority for audio switch is based on what you’re doing (like watching a movie) or on prioritized events (like receiving a phone call).
- Each switch will notify you and give you the option to revert the switch. You can disable all switching by going to your audio switch settings.
Use Assistant
To use Assistant, at least one audio source must have Assistant activated.
As long as you aren’t on a phone call or video call, you can still access Google Assistant. Say, "Hey Google," or touch and hold the earbud that is configured to Assistant, and the earbud will automatically switch your connection to your Assistant-enabled device.
Note: If media is playing, your Pixel Buds should pause it during your question or command, and then your media audio will resume.
