    Hi Moodymike,

    Welcome to the community. At this time, the Sonos app is not available to run on Chromebooks. I'll submit a feature request to add Chromebook support to our development team. We don't have a timeline we can share for this feature, but we'll be sure to make an announcement if we have any updates.

      Don’t know how I missed this...thanks for pointing out my miss (seriously...no snark).  

      I did this today and had to stop and restart the Sonos app after the Wifi juggle...but it connected!  Thanks again for the nudge...and to BrianTD for the suggestion.

      Hello, not sure this will work for everyone but I found that if I start the discovery, shutdown wifi and then brough wifi back up it found the speaker (play5).  Hope this helps others.

      I can’t believe I didn’t try this. Thanks!

      This is a tremendous disappointment.  Having invested so much money in Sonos, some of the recent news that’s come down the pipeline is disappointing such as no longer supporting older products, lack of AirPlay support on Play 1 and Play 3’s…. 

       

      Just purchased a new Google Pixelbook and cannot even control my Sonos via the Android app… Other apps have been tailored to work on both Android & ChromeOS.  Get your act together Sonos!  You have loyal customers but that will change if you can’t keep up with the times!

      Please, Sonos, add Chrome OS to your list of supported operating systems.  This would improve my home life immensely, especially after you removed the option of controlling your speakers directly from an iphone.

       

      Thank you.

        You can still control the system from an iPhone. It’s the ability to play local files stored on the iDevice which had to be withdrawn as a result of changes in iOS.

        As for ChromeOS, I don’t anticipate Sonos offering support until other apps which rely upon local network comms start behaving in a ‘normal’ fashion.

          please add my voice to this request as well.  Just got lenovo duet Chromebook and sonos app doesn't work.  It let me perform an update but now the Android app just shuts down immediately after starting.

            The Android app sort of works on my Acer 714 Chromebook. It’s not consistent - it times out occasionally and needs to be closed/open again. Also, it doesn’t support re-sizing the window.

            Similar experience on my Pixel Slate.

            Certainly not a consistently good experience - support on ChromeOS (or at least the Android app on ChromeOS) would be hugely appreciated!
