<title>What is Bluetooth visibility?</title>

27
<p>Bluetooth visibility simply refers to whether other devices can discover
21
your computer when searching for Bluetooth devices. When Bluetooth visibility
22
is turned on, your computer will advertise itself to all other devices within
23
range, allowing them to attempt to connect to you.</p>
28
your computer when searching for Bluetooth devices. When Bluetooth is turned
29
on and the <gui>Bluetooth</gui> panel is open, your computer will advertise
30
itself to all other devices within range, allowing them to attempt to connect
34
<p>To indicate that your computer is visible while the <gui>Bluetooth</gui>
35
panel is open, the <em>visible name</em> is displayed. The name appears in
36
the label above the device list, <gui>Visible as "Jo's Desktop"</gui>, for
37
example, and can be <link xref="sharing-displayname">changed</link> from
38
the <gui>Sharing</gui> panel.</p>

<p>Your computer does not need to be visible to search for other devices, but
26
42
those devices need to be visible for your computer to discover them.</p>

<p>After you have <link xref="bluetooth-connect-device">connected to a device</link>,
29
neither your computer nor the device needs to be visible to communicate with each

50
<p>Unless you or someone you trust needs to connect to your computer from
33
51
another device, you should leave visibility off.</p>
