Don't see bluetooth listed as a device to share with VM

I'm running parallels lite on a MacBook Air 2015 with El Capitan.

Screenshots on the parallels site display VM's configuration options as 'USB & Bluetooth". Mine just shows USB. Is it because I'm using El Capitan? Would upgrading the host to High Sierra help?

TIA.

Well, I tried with full version of Parallels and I can see the "USB & Bluetooth" option. However I'm not able to share the Bluetooth device with guest OS X VM. KB articles talk about sharing bluetooth devices with a Windows VM. Am I to assume that bluetooth device sharing feature is not supported in Mac OS VMs?

Hi @MAHADEVANH , The built in Bluetooth of Mac cannot be shared with Windows virtual machine because it can be only recognized on host machine and cannot be recognized by virtual machine.
