How to connect Bluetooth devices to your Samsung TV
Samsung TVs can connect to variety of Bluetooth devices, including speakers, soundbars, headphones, keyboards and mice, and gamepads. This can enhance the audio of your TV or make it easier to navigate the menu.
Depending on your TV this feature could be called SoundConnect, SoundShare, or Bluetooth Audio.

Please note: not all Samsung TVs support Bluetooth connections. Some Samsung TVs support connections from Bluetooth audio devices, but not from Bluetooth HID devices (mouse, keyboards, and gamepads). If your TV doesn't support Bluetooth, you will not be able to connect Bluetooth devices wirelessly and may have to use a cable. USB Bluetooth transmitter receivers are not supported
