How to enforce change bluetooth sound output device?

Hi guys,

I have a bluetooth device: Bose QC35 Headset II. The headset could be connect to two devices during the same time. So in my case is it my Android phone and my laptop with Arch.

My problem is: when I watch youtube (youtube is only an example) on Arch and I start another youtube on my Android, headset should stop video on Arch and I should to hear android video. That should work in the opposite direction too.

How can I reach this goal? Many thanks for any tip.

This will be up the the headset's implementation, I highly doubt you can do something about this from the Arch system (safe for explicitly disconnecting, of course).

FWIW: https://www.bose.com/en_us/support/arti … .html.html

Neither of the other actual Operating Systems knows that another device is connected.
