Feature request: Roam as surround speaker

I was thinking about getting the Roam for two things both of which I only do occasionally: listen to music in the backyard, and watch a movie that is worth having surround sound for. But I’ve just found out the second use is not possible.

I’ve read other posts about technical issues, things like “re-tuning the Trueplay” but since I’m Android, that’s a feature of my Arc I can’t use anyway. In response to a request for this on the Move someone said voice assistants would have to be disabled and re-activated every time - why not a temporary disable when put into surround mode? Got to be do-able surely?

My problem is I’ve got no good place for a permanent rear speaker, so a portable speaker is the ideal solution: why can’t I have the option of using the Roam - even if there are some limitations? Add this feature and I’m getting one ASAP.

Also, +1 for this.

Perfect solution for my wife. She does not want the permanent surround speakers, but a pair of Roams used and charged in other rooms would be perfect while watching movies or sports, and then return them to their other rooms later.

Agree, dont have power outlets anywhere near. Would be neat to have two roams for that purpose!

Would love to see this enabled. I’m in the same boat as kraig109 and ejules. My wife isn’t keen on permanent surrounds and we don’t have power outlets to hand.
