Question

"Share This Track"

Hello... I used to be able to "Share This Track" from the Sonos App to Facebook via activities. I can no longer use this feature in the Sonos App. Is there a way to get it back?

    I get the option to "share the track" and then get presented with different media to share it with i.e. Facebook, twitter, email etc. but when I select Facebook it doesn't enter any text of the track I am listening to. If I select any other social media, it does enter the text of the track I am listening to.

    This used to work. Anyone any ideas?

    Any update on this feature working yet? 10 months ago Ryan S commented on this. It doesn't work for me, just generates a blank Facebook post. Surely a piece of album art, artist, track, album info and link to sonos website isn't too much to ask???

    Apologies if this is answered elsewhere and/or no longer relevant but the share function is still available on my iPhone - but you have to scroll down to the bottom of the list to be able to access it. If i share a track to Facebook direct from the Sonos app then all i get is the "nowplaying" blank post (previously mentioned). But my Spotify account is linked to my Sonos and Facebook accounts and if i share from Spotify, then Facebook posts are populated with the track name and album art.

    Any update on this? The last helpful response from Sonos was a year ago.

    I also just get an empty Facebook entry just with the #nowplaying hashtag. It works when I share with Mail or Messages.

    Hi everyone,

    I have a solution to this issue. I use HootSuite to aggregate and push my articles, ect to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIN, and Flipboard, among other sources.

    If you use HootSuite when you share a song from Sonos, this is what you get on Facebook.
