How to Put Alexa in Pairing Mode?

[sophiadasy]

I want to use my Echo as a Bluetooth speaker for my laptop, but I can't seem to find the device in my Bluetooth list. Does anyone know how to put alexa in pairing mode using both voice commands and the mobile app? I tried saying "Alexa, pair," but it says no devices are found.

I need to know if there's a physical button combination or a specific menu in the Alexa app that I'm missing. If you’ve successfully linked a PC or Mac, please share the trick to how to put alexa in pairing mode so it stays discoverable long enough for the handshake to complete.

To put Alexa in pairing mode, say “Alexa, pair” or “Alexa, Bluetooth on.” You can also open the Alexa app, go to Devices > Echo & Alexa, select your device, and turn on Bluetooth pairing.
