This would be dependent on what your TV shows as far as info from an HDMI-CEC connected device. Some TVs might show volume level info, others might just show that they've sent a volume up or down signal to the device. Some might not show anything.

Given that Beam's official release is today, and yes I know there were some early shipments of it, there are very few people that have Beam at this point. You might want to provide your TV's model number, and maybe if someone else has the same, or similar, TV model, they can respond.

    Thanks Mike. I have the LG 65UJ6300 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2017 Model). If there's any way to get a Volume indicator on the screen, I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks!

      A couple of days ago i sent an email to Sono's asking this very question. I have a LG OLED and like all only get the + and - sign for volume....My point is this , if Sonos can make a + and - sign appear on your tv screen, they can make a lot more show as well.... Their answer was that i should come on this board and discuss it with everyone else....So in other words, go away.. I feel as a group if we complain about it enough , we might get some upgrade to the software....Time will tell.

        I have the same question. I have an LG 55SK8000 and I only see the + and - signs. I hope that Sonos will update their software to add the volume. I did notice however that the volume level is displayed on the Sonos app on my iPhone.

          As stated that is dependent on the TV, not something Sonos can fix. You can talk to LG to see if they can address it.

            It might be something LG can fix, but i doubt that they care, because they have their own sound coming from the TV itself... HOWEVER, Sonos does place a + and - on the TV and since i acquired the 2018 LG OLED it now has sound icon in between them which did not show on my 2016 LG OLED... If they can achieve that, they can achieve more...

              That is incorrect, that is something displayed by the TV based on how it handles the HDMI CEC protocol. As explained above, there are users who have proper volume indication displayed while others have something more basic like you are seeing, and some have nothing at all. It is dependent on the TV, as you’ve seen yourself between the two LG models, and you would need to contact LG in order to address it. If you’d rather not then that’s your choice, but this has nothing to do with Sonos.
