youtube music airplay not working

Hello

when I play from my phone YouTube music on airplay I cannot play music on the devices with no airplay (play3) despite having matched them with airplay devices from Sonos app. How can I solve this? Thanks for helping

The group isn’t visible for AirPlay. AirPlay only sees AirPlay capable speakers.

Can you try to play to one of your AirPlay enabled speakers and then group that with the Play 3’s. Do you still not get any sound?

    The ‘group’ won’t show up on the AirPlay 2 screen, just the one Sonos device that is AirPlay 2 capable. It will then receive an AirPlay 2 signal, and as it is grouped with the other PLAY:3s , the signal will play there as well.
     

    I’m currently doing this with a stereo signal sent by AirPlay 2 from my AppleTV to a Sonos One, and I’ve grouped a stereo pair of PLAY:3s with that Sonos One, and I get sound from all three speakers. 

    This is my problem! I cannot see the group. On top of this, as already written, despite being grouped on Sonos app, the other play3s do not play any sound when I reproduce music from YouTube in my iPhone. Please help!


     

    It might be me, but you don’t seem to be giving clear details.
     

    What are you doing in the Sonos app and what are you doing in your player? 

     

    In your player, start the airplay stream to your Sonos speaker. Then switch to the Sonos app. Now try grouping the speaker already playing and your other speakers/group, with that airplay stream as your source. 
     

    If you do the above sequence of steps, what happens at each step?
