So how would one go about getting on the Echo control private beta?
The first rule of private beta is there is no private beta...
Sounds like you're all set. The beta page doesn't have anything specific for one beta over another. The team reaches out to people who have offered to help there when they need to add more people to betas in the future, so you may get asked further details later, but that depends on a lot of factors. Thanks for your interest in helping out!
Hey Ryan. I hear that some invites are going out for 7.3 with Alexa control. I'd like to be on that list.



Seeing as the Private Betas are covered by legally binding NDAs even to the extent that the existence of the Private Beta is covered I'm guessing you've just demonstrated that, given you are willing to spread internet gossip, you aren't realty the "sort" they are looking for.
Just to clarify a few things here guys, the public beta going on right now for version 7.2 does not contain anything specific for Amazon Echo control. It has several fixes and other things, but nothing for Echo. If you're in that beta that's great, we'd love to get your feedback, so please make sure to share.



From our lists of beta testers that give good feedback the team will sometimes reach out to offer participation in private betas. We're glad you're all interested and we'll be letting everyone know if there's any option for testing things out in a more public beta.
Hi Jonathan, and welcome to the community!



Stuart_W is correct here, while details on a Private Beta aren't made available to everyone, so long as you're signed up to Public Beta we'll certainly get in touch if you're eligible for any upcoming Private Beta programs.
Thanks for the answers all.

Well, here's hoping Sonos get in touch then...
As blunt as Stuart_W can be, he does have a point. I'm sure that if Sonos is currently doing a private beta, they'll have no lack of volunteers. Giving their insistence on private betas being, well . . . private, one way to pare down the field is to eliminate those who seem hell bent on discussing them in public.
Dunno how to get on the private beta, but just want the Sonos team to know I have an Echo, and a Dot Gen2 on order, so...
Just adding myself to the potential beta test pool -- in the UK with an Echo (two, actually) and Dots Gen2 on order. Here's hoping....
There's no Public Beta. But in terms of Private Beta that is what folks on this thread are requesting to be involved. But as the first rule of fight club is don't talk about fight club.....................................
Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush.



Great movie!
I believe there's no beta about Sonos-Alexa going on. So why is everyone acting like they are looking for candidates ?
I'm an avid Sonos fan, and product tester, I have 4 Sonos around the house, a connect, an echo dot and a regular echo. I'd love to be in the private beta for this.
I'd love to get into the private beta!!! I own an echo dot, a couple of sonos 1 and a sonos connect!
I'd love to join the private beta
"Pick me, pick me please!! Pleaseee!"



Just like the good old days in elementary school.



Oh well.
I would be happy to beta!
Ditto ...... I've a full Echo & Echo Dot and would also love to contribute towards testing.

I'm signed up to the public beta.
Also here. Have the whole house filled with SONOS units. Have two Alexa units, have Spotify and a degree in Electrical Engineering with a lot of experince in development and beta testing for different products. Was the winner of the best beta tester once on a Cisco product. Please enroll me into your coming SONOS - ALEXA - SPOTIFY beta 🙂
for requesting to be involved in a private beta, there must be a private beta. I believe there is also no "private beta" at the moment. I have been using both Sonos and Amazon Echo for a long time. I have 4 Echo Dots and 4 Sonos devices in 4 rooms. I was invited to the last 4 or 5 private beta programme and have made contribution to all of them.

I believe, if there's any private beta , I would be invited already.



ps. when there's no fight club you can talk about non-existing fight club.
Private Beta is by invite. THIS thread is for wannabe Echo Private Beta testers due to the popularity and maybe people think there might be a freebie or cheap Echo in it.

One thing is most likely. If you aren't registered for Beta it would seem very unlikely you would be invited to a Private Beta



The reality is there is no way to know, unless you are in one, if there is a Private Beta on-going as once you are in you don't talk about it. AT ALL.
Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush.
Would love to get in on a beta if one is available...
S. B. Confidential, lol.
Hey Ryan. I hear that some invites are going out for 7.3 with Alexa control. I'd like to be on that list.
