To begin the pairing process, open the Settings app on your Chromebook and go to Bluetooth. You can do this quickly by pressing the search button on your keyboard and typing "Bluetooth," or by clicking the notification area in the bottom right corner, selecting Bluetooth, and then "Add Device."
Once the Bluetooth settings are open, click on Pair new device so that the Chromebook can start searching for Bluetooth devices in pairing mode.
Now that your Chromebook is searching for devices, make sure your AirPods or AirPods Pro are discoverable for pairing. Place both AirPods in the charging case, leave the lid open, and press and hold the setup button on the back until the LED light flashes white. If you have AirPods Max, press and hold the noise control button for five seconds until the white light indicates they are in pairing mode.
The LED on the charging case will blink white, indicating that the AirPods are ready to pair. The same applies to the status indicator on the AirPods Max when they are in pairing mode.
On your Chromebook, you'll see your AirPods listed in the pairing window. Click on them, and the connection will be established in seconds.
Your AirPods are now ready to use with your Chromebook! They'll connect automatically if they were the last paired device. If you then use them with your iPhone and want to switch back to your Chromebook, just select your AirPods from the list of paired Bluetooth devices. You won't need to pair them again.
