Feature Request: Beam swap left/right channel

I mounted my Beam upside down under my TV because it was the only way since the mount was blocking access to the cable ports and the Beam controls were too close under the TV if mounted upright. By mounting it upside down I am able to access the Beam buttons underneath and have a clear entry to the cable ports. Please make it possible to swap left/right channel of the Beam.

I don’t believe what I read.... best way to mount beam it’s upside down under tv to get possibility to use buttons... and I realize that Sonos logo is genius because it the same upside down... but now I now that was a mistake to buy this speaker... I don’t believe that Sonos don’t support channel switching...

I'm also still waiting for Sonos supporting channel switching in Sonos Beam. Exactly like @lockotron wrote, it' s really strange that it is still quite hard to use Sonos setup with electric screen placed in the middle of a room. When I saw Flexson mount encouraging to mount Beam up-side-down my first thought was finally! Until I checked if channels are being swapped... and they not 😞.

Would like to add my support to this request. Just mounted my Beam upside down using the Flexson mount. I was surprised the feature is not already available.

Adding yet another voice to this:  we need the ability to reverse channels on the Playbar.  Anyone with a projector or overhanging cabinet is mounting them from the overhang and I’m stunned this isn’t a simple button to flip in settings.  I’ve got it perfectly mounted and realize only now that this can’t be accomplished in the software.
