    Hi Stanley,

    I'm new in sonos devices, but I want to do something so that I can talk and be heard on the device... There's any option in the app that can make possible what I'm looking for?

    Thanks!

    There used to be an app you could buy that allowed you to speak into your phone and send it to any Sonos speaker. I don't know if it's still available as I had read I think that one of the updates broke it.

    You could get a Connect and plug your microphone into. What you'll find is there is a 70 ms delay from when you speak until the voice will come out of whichever speaker you choose which may or may not be a problem to you

    Not designed for that as was said but the Connect, Connect Amp and Play 5 do have line-level inputs so you could hook a mike with a line-level preamp to them. You'll likely find it difficult to speak if you can hear the delayed sound.

    This is really helpful. I also had the same issue.
