Does Sonos support moving/trasnfering the music from a google speaker to a Sonos using their Stream transfer functionality?

You can do this between two google speakers by saying “ hey google, move the music to the living room speaker”.

This isn’t possible I’m afraid. Moving music between rooms using your voice only works on speakers that support Chromecast, and Sonos speakers don’t support it, which is really unfortunate.

You can always use the Sonos app or long-press the play/pause button on the speaker you want to play music on followed by the same gesture on the speaker you want to stop the music on to ungroup it.

If you’re using Spotify, just tell the speaker you want to play music on to “Play Spotify”, and the music should start playing from where you left off.

Maybe some members of this community have other tips about this?

This feature you are describing is only possible between two sonos speakers. Not sure why you suggested it, otherwise great info, thanks.
