YouTube through Sonos...how?
nick205 - 6/5/17 at 04:57 PM

Acquired a pair of Sonos play 1 speakers. They work well as doe the Sonos app.

Downside seems to be I can't find a way to stream YouTube through it.

Anyone know if there's a way?

I'm not a programmer (nor want to be) by the way!

Top link is for Apple device, bottom link is Android,

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tubio-cast-web-videos-to-tv-chromecast-airplay/id934339109?mt=8

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aesoftware.tubio&hl=en

These are free apps that will allow you to do what you want.

On the Apple Store search for sonos tube App this will also work.

Thanks for the links, will take a look.

Handy as we have Android phones and an iPad at home.

Quick update...

The first link (Aople) works well for the home ipad playing You Tube sounds through the Sonos speakers. So far I can't watch the video itself on the ipad screen, just hear the sound through the speakers. Could be something in the settings so I'll have a fiddle and see.

The second link (Android) to be tried tonight.

Thanks again Carl! (I thought this must be a fairly common request for Sonos users)

Glad its working for you, I have a SONOS set up, but not tried to use it through my Iphone apart from music, Its a great system but can be restrictive when using outside of their own apps.

Thank you. I have various Sonos for years and hadn't worked out how to do this.
