1. An electronic device worn on a first user comprising:
a microphone;
an audio output circuit;
a communication circuit configured to support Bluetooth communication;
a processor connected to the microphone, the audio output circuit, and the communication circuit; and
a memory connected to the processor,
wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
connect to a first external electronic device by a first communication resource of a first communication link using the communication circuit,
connect to a second external electronic device, worn on a second user, by a second communication resource of a second communication link using the communication circuit,
transmit connection information comprising information associated with the first communication link to the second external electronic device via the second communication link,
receive first data from the second external electronic device on a first slot of the first communication resource for receiving data from the first external electronic device of the first communication link, the first data being obtained by a microphone of the second external electronic device,
output the first data using the audio output circuit,
obtain second data using the microphone from the first user, and
transmit the second data to the second external electronic device via the first communication link on a second slot of the first communication resource for transmitting data to the first external electronic device of the first communication link, and
wherein the information associated with the first communication link comprises control information.
