  <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>
