    In services i cant find any of the voice services. Google or Alexa.
    i guess it is because of my region, which is disturbing, because when i bought the speaker it didnt say anything about region limitation. Also i am not aware of google assistant limit in my region. I have it on my phone.
    can someone help bypassing it?
    Thanks!

    I’m not sure that you’re in a country where Sonos offers voice support?

    I seem to recall some some threads on this subject, where a suggested workaround was to register your account as being in a supported country, but I don’t know if that is still possible or what the process is/was.

    I think Spotify and others have blocked users switching country and use the Account payment details and other measures to determine residence.

    Did anyone find a resolution to this issue? We are trying to integrate Google Assistant with our Sonos system but not finding Voice Services as an option.

    Same here, no voice option. I spend time in 2 different countries, be great if Sonos/Google caught up with 21st century living.

    I reached out to Sonos support on Twitter and they helped with resolution. There were actually a couple issues:

    - Google Assistant would not recognize my Sonos devices because my Sonos profile did not have a country set. I set to USA and was able to get Sonos devices set up on Google Assistant.

    - It did not, however, display Voice Services as an available option in Sonos set up, as the Sonos set up guide leads you to believe

    - I believe this is because my Sonos devices are not directly compatible with Alexa/GA. You can still configure GA to interact with Sonos, but the Sonos Music Services must leverage the same accounts as GA.

    - My wife and I have multiple Spotify accounts which led to some frustration trying to get everything synced between one Sonos account and multiple GA profiles. I learned you can add multiple Spotify services to the Sonos profile and that seemed to resolve my issues.

     

    We're still figuring out how to interact with GA but the above is what I learned and resolved the initial issues.
