<title>What is Bluetooth visibility?</title>
<p>Bluetooth visibility refers to whether other devices can discover
your computer when searching for Bluetooth devices. When Bluetooth is turned
on and the <gui>Bluetooth</gui> panel is open, your computer will advertize
itself to all other devices within range, allowing them to attempt to connect
to your computer.</p>
<note style="tip">
<p>You can <link xref="sharing-displayname">change</link> the name your
computer displays to other devices.</p>
</note>
<p>After you have
<link xref="bluetooth-connect-device">connected to a device</link>,
neither your computer nor the device needs to be visible to communicate with
each other.</p>
