unable to add Move 2’s as surround speakers to Beam 2

Question

I’ve read on the Sonos website that with the latest software, Move 2 speakers can now be used as surround speakers for a Beam 2.

I have a new Beam Gen 2 and two Move 2s, all on the latest software. All three microphones are enabled. The Move 2s are set up as separate rooms, powered on over Wi-Fi, in the same physical room with line of sight to the Beam. When I select Set Up Surrounds on the Beam, the app only offers my Sonos Amp (which is in a completely different area of the house) and does not detect either Move 2. I also unplugged the Amp and retried.

I have gone through all of the checklist items on the Sonos website, some of them multiple times. I’m not sure what to do at this point.

That feature won’t be available until after 9/8/26 with the new software update/release. Also, given Sonos’ penchant to release a major update in phases; everyone may not get the feature at the same time. Be patient “Grasshopper” 😊
