Android · Version 1.3.0

Cast to Sonos lets you choose a room for audio from a compatible Android app. Start by finding the speaker, then choose what you want to play. This walkthrough follows a Sonos One SL named Dining Room.

Find your room

Connect the phone and speaker to the same Wi-Fi network. In Cast to Sonos, tap Choose a speaker, then Find speakers. Select the room where you want to listen. The red boxes and numbered arrows below mark the scan button and the room that appeared.

The scan found one room. The checked box marks the selected room. Markers: 1: Find speakers; 2: Selected room.

Check the selected speaker

Tap Done to return home. Check that the room name matches your choice. In this example, the app shows Dining Room and the status Ready to cast.

The home screen shows Dining Room and Ready to cast. This is selection evidence, not audio playback. Markers: 1: Selected speaker.

Choose what to play

Tap All apps and select your player. A player can appear here even when it restricts audio sharing. When starting a cast, review Android’s audio-sharing prompt and grant permission if you want to continue. Use the player’s own controls to choose and play your audio.

The recorded example ends with speaker selection. For a closer look at the scan, see Find your speaker.
