How to Play YouTube on Sonos on iPhone or iPad

This How.com.vn teaches you how to play any video on YouTube, and listen to it on your Sonos speakers, using AirPlay on an iPhone or iPad. All of Sonos Beam, Amp, One, Playbase, and Play:5 (second gen) models are AirPlay-compatible for streaming music from your mobile device.[1] If you have a different Sonos model with no AirPlay compatibility, you can use an Aux cable to connect your iPhone or iPad to your speakers with a wired connection.

Steps

  1. How.com.vn English: Step 1 Turn on your Sonos speakers.
    When your speakers are powered on, they should automatically appear in the AirPlay speaker list in your iPhone or iPad's Control Center.[2]
    • All of the Beam, Amp, Sonos One, Playbase, and Play:5 (second generation) models of Sonos work with Apple AirPlay.[3]
  2. How.com.vn English: Step 2 Swipe up from the bottom of your iPhone's screen.
    This will open Control Center.
    • If you're using iPhone X or later, or iPad with iOS 12 or later, swipe down from the upper-right corner.
  3. How.com.vn English: Step 3 Press and hold the audio card in Control Center.
    This is the music section that's usually in the upper-right corner of Control Center. It will expand your audio options.
  4. How.com.vn English: Step 4 Tap the audio icon on the top-right.
    This button looks like white circles and an upward arrowhead in the upper-right corner of the audio options window. It will open a list of all the available AirPlay speakers around you.
    • If your AirPlay-compatible speakers are turned on, they will appear on the speaker list here.
    • If your speakers don't work with AirPlay, your only option to play YouTube is connecting your iPhone to your speakers with an Aux cable.
  5. How.com.vn English: Step 5 Select your Sonos speakers on the list.
    Just tap the name of your speakers to select them.
    • A white checkmark will show up next to the selected output device on the list.
  6. How.com.vn English: Step 6 Open YouTube on your iPhone or iPad.
    The YouTube icon looks like a white Play button in a red rectangle. You can find it on your home screen, or in an app folder.
  7. How.com.vn English: Step 7 Play any video on YouTube.
    Once you're connected to your Sonos speakers via AirPlay, anything you play on YouTube on your iPhone or iPad will be directly streamed to your speakers.
