Is it possible to stream internet audio from a MacBook through Sonos? 

Specifically, is it possible to stream audio from a website accessed on a MacBook, through either a PlayBar, or a Sonos Connect? 

When I open AirPlay on my MacBook, it shows another set of Sonos speakers I have (Play 5), but it doesn’t show either a PlayBar, or a Connect system I also have.

If this isn’t supported directly in the Sonos app, are there any third-party apps that might do it?

There are a number of old, closed threads on this topic, but I couldn’t find answers in any of them. 

Thank you!

AirPlay the audio from the MacBook to the Play:5. Then group the Playbar and Connect to the Play:5 in the Sonos app.
