How can I play same music on multiple speakers?

[#1]

Hi! I have a few HomePods and Amazon Echo's in the apartment. I want to play at the same time the same song on all speakers. How can I reach this?

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. You can only play on one device at a time with a single account. Starting the playback on one device will stop the playback on another. Check out this idea regarding simultaneous playback.

Hope this clears things up.

I have speakers in my kitchen/lounge/dining rooms, bedroom and bathroom i want to play spotify on at the same time, so it's in all rooms. is this not possible? all other music platforms allow this (apple music, etc.).

Hey folks,

Apologies for the confusion.

With smart speakers it's possible to play on all of them at once provided that they can be combined into groups. We'd suggest reaching out to your device manufacturer's support to find out how and if this is possible.

Once you've set up a group, you can select it in the list of devices in your Now Playing View.

Keep in mind Spotify does not support streaming from more than one device / device group at the same time.

We hope this helps!

I think you should make it so I can listen on my Xbox and my phone to connect the 2 I like listening to music in my headphones and my speaker it’s not that hard please fix it

Spotify doesn't allow this because two people could be using those devices simultaneously. So it's like two people on the same account, which they lose money on and goes against licensing agreements.

Listening on multiple speakers to one stream in the same house doesnt seem like two people on the same account from my perspective.  My wife frequently sits in the room listening to our Spotify together playing thru two passive speakers.  Wanting the same stream to play into the next room as I walk in doesnt change that....would be great if it could be done in mixed environment - similar to Sonos setups.  Hope that makes sense.

The idea is simple, but the execution is likely complicated. I say this because you would quickly be met with audio that's out of sync if they're going through non-connected devices. Devices within the same vendor have solved this with their "grouping". As soon as you had a couple of devices across different vendors trying to play at the same time you would likely have synchronization issues, and people would quickly complain about fixing it as it would drive them nuts.

For example, it's already been complicated enough through the years to get multiple bluetooth speakers [connected to a Macbook] to play in sync and not drive you nuts, and there's even "clock sync" features that are supposed to solve this, but then there's a multitude of other issues that come up with wireless audio processing over bluetooth and different devices.

Let's be honest though. I'm here from a Google search and would love this feature as well.
