How to set up and use Music Share on the Galaxy S20

Music Share is a particularly useful feature that lets your friends play music on your Bluetooth speakers. They don't have to set up their phones with Bluetooth speakers in your house; instead, your Galaxy S20 acts as the conduit for connecting your speakers with their phones. It's incredibly intuitive, and one of those features that every phone should come with.

It saves the hassle of individually pairing each phone with a Bluetooth speaker, and overall it's just an elegant way of streaming audio from several Bluetooth-enabled devices. Music Share is particularly handy if you're hosting a party as it makes it easier for your guests to connect to your Bluetooth speakers.
