Chromebook support

So SONOS what I request that support for Chromebooks is placed firmly on the software development agenda with a timescale for development and integration provided.

Mike, it probably depends on which CBook you're using...

On a 2015 Pixel the Sonos Android app has generally been working pretty well for some time.

Jeff S's comment above that "the Sonos app is not available to run on Chromebooks" is simply nonsensical. It's an Android app in the Play Store so Chromebooks can install and will attempt to run it - just like any other Android app - the only question is to what extent it actually works.

My own experience is that when CBooks first got the ability to run Android apps via ARC 2-3 years back, the Sonos app worked for me (but with high CPU), then it stopped working, then more recently following Play Store CBook integration it's worked pretty well for a while (full featured; occasionally gets a glitch). "By accident", clearly, as Sonos staff don't really appear to much about it or be much interested in it. Shame!

Perhaps Jeff could have been more precise in saying that the android app is not supported to run on chromebooks, but that hardly classifies as nonsensical.

Not at all surprising for an use case that is not supported. It might work for a bit, but Sonos is not going to test and develop updates to ensure it continues to work on chromebooks. And can you seriously blame Sonos staff for this. They surely are instructed by management not to waste timing and giving a confusing message to customers by putting any effort into chromebook support. If you must blame someone, blame Sonos management for mot putting out a budget for support. Better yet, blame the masses who aren't throwing out their Windows in favor of chromebook, so that supporting chromebook makes economic sense.

Sonos is surely aware that Chrome OS is currently the fastest growing OS. Chromebooks have outsold MacBooks for several years now. A huge percentage of Android apps work on Chrome OS. They are running out of excuses to not support it.

Your link shows Chrome at around 6% in the US. However, that doesn't reflect sales, but what OS people are using to browse the internet. I'm not sure how well that reflects the volume of users that would use chromebook to control Sonos if it was an option or how it would effect Sonos product sales.

This appears to be working now through Play Store app. Finally.. Thank you Sonos for adding this support!

nope still not working on my chrome book ? come on sonos get your act together let us play on chrome book and you tube

There is no official Sonos app for my Xbox, my TiVo, my Windows Phones, my Apple TV, my Samsung fridge, either.

I use the official apps on my PC, iPhone, SonoPad on my iPad, and my own apps for my Xbox and WP devices. My TiVo and Fridge remain Sonos-less but I have enough remaining choices to be ok.
