Use Auracast to broadcast audio from your Galaxy S24

Auracast is a Bluetooth feature on the Galaxy S24 series that allows you to share your phone’s sound with other nearby audio devices, such as the Galaxy Buds2 Pro. For example, if your friend is using compatible Bluetooth headphones, they’ll be able to listen in on your podcast, music playlist, or video. Plus, there’s no need to be concerned about strangers joining your broadcast. You can set up a password for your broadcast to block unwanted guests from accessing it.

Nearby listeners with Bluetooth headphones (such as a pair of Galaxy Buds2 Pro) will be able to listen in on your broadcast. However, they will need to provide the password before they can connect to your broadcast.
To end the broadcast, tap Stop broadcast on the broadcast screen. This will also disconnect the broadcast’s listeners from your device.
