Installation instructions: https://medium.com/@casttosonos/how-to-cast-to-sonos-from-chrome-805fbc36a60d
Until now, it has not been possible to stream audio directly from youtube or any other platform from the browser to a Sonos system. Cast to Sonos offers a similar experience as the Chromecast feature in chrome browsers.
After installing you can easily cast any audio that you can play inside chrome, to your Sonos device by going to the top-right and clicking the puzzle icon.
After opening the extension, you can make a choice to use the free version with limited quality or the premium version. After that, you can select the room and the group you want to cast to. The selection box will become selected and the play button will show up after the extension is connected to your device.
If you are not able to connect, make sure that no other app is using your Sonos device, Spotify or Youtube for example. Try pausing or disconnecting from the app that is currently using your Sonos device.
If you are experiencing technical issues, you can go to the Chrome Web Store "Support page" and leave your questions there and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Technical note about the delay:
This extension streams your audio from your tab to your Sonos device. Naturally, there is a delay because you're not playing an audio clip, you are streaming, just like how Chromecast does it. The advantage is that it works for every website and with any kind of audio source that Google Chrome supports.
With this extension, you are not able to turn your Sonos device into PC speakers. You are better off buying a good pair of normal PC speakers.

- (2025-07-07) Du Ich: Easy and works.
- (2025-05-30) Kyle Miller: Simplifies the casting process, specifically for SoundCloud that wouldn't show many of my songs.
- (2025-03-07) John Selecky: I thought it was great but it keeps crashing. And, I paid for the premium version. Needs to be fixed.
- (2025-02-12) Christobel Selecky: Works great. It does stop from time to time and I just need to restart it.
- (2024-12-20) Tom Roelofs: "Failed to start tab. Unable to load a worklet module." error on whenever I try to play :'(
- (2024-12-11) Logan Thibodeaux: One star for working and easy connectivity but there's a large lag between what's on the screen and the audio. Fine if you're just listening to something but if you're watching it, it's a huge pain.
- (2024-12-01) Gijsbert: Thank you so much. Got the Sonos as a gift over a year ago, finally decided to set it up. I was so surprised that this was not possible by default. After using this extension I was instantly able to cast my music from my browser to the Sonos.
- (2024-10-14) Lukas MAG: does not work. might be a phishing plugin since they ask for password
- (2024-09-26) Kingman: Works very well for playing music via YouTube
- (2024-09-03) Oscar Roig: Works really good, I can send music videos to my sonos, which is discovered instantly.
- (2024-08-10) bei tkj: Works fine. Sometimes need to tap extension item a few times to recognize system. Yes there is heavy delay but as others say that is acceptable for music. It is a great Sonos enhancement for free for that I give it 5 stars. Sometimes it ends up a bit distorted (maybe WIFI issue) but usually quite OK quality.
- (2024-08-04) Raz Dabija: didn't pick-up my sonos beam 2 ..sooo it didn't work
- (2024-06-10) Lukas Lin: the best plug-in app for Sonos soundbox!!! don't go to Microsoft app store to download any app!!!
- (2024-05-23) Leonardo Pizio: Works, but with an enormous delay, pretty much useless.
- (2024-05-22) AngelMyst: Of Course It Doesn't Work . Imagine That.
- (2023-12-31) John Wegmann: Worked for five minutes. Since then, I can't get it to work anymore.
- (2023-12-29) Maurice van G.: Can't find the Sonos anymore, nothing has changed.
- (2023-12-26) Snow: Worked the first time, but doesn't work the next day anymore. After multiple tries and on different devices - says can't find my Sonos system. I also powered off the Sonos and tried again, still the same result. Unusable now. Thanks for letting me use it once yesterday.
- (2023-12-07) Yo Lo: The app works well. The latency is high but not a limitation for music. No idea if this is related to the Sonos Control API. Edit: I just saw that you explained the reason for the delay in an older comment.
- (2023-11-15) patrick feracin: I wish it casted in stereo :o(
- (2023-07-17) Kobi Mor: Just installed, but I don't know how to cast. Would appreciate some basic instructions on how to start casting to my Sonos

- (2023-06-14) Mystic Magican (MysticMagican): Datenkrake, mehr nicht. Warum sollte ich dieser Erweiterung die Daten meines Sonos-Accounts geben? Das ist für die Nutzung nicht erforderlich, Apps/Programme wie Spotify finden auch ohne Login die im Netzwerk vorhandenen Lautsprecher..
- (2023-06-01) Francis Campbell: Works perfectly for streaming audio from Chrome to Sonos, which is what I want to do. I tried to buy the premium version, but could not do so because the payment system rejected my postcode. I live in the Republic of Ireland.

- (2023-04-01) David Youdontcare: funktioniert nicht, "kein Haushaltgefunden", über die Sonos App oder iTunes funktioniert der Lautsprecher
- (2023-03-07) Kevin Turner: Useless - there is always about a 5-10 second delay between the video and the audio and the session disconnects each time a video is done playing, even if I keep the extension open.

- (2022-10-28) Kim “Mus” Heggelund: Does connect and play sound from sonos, but the delay is 4-10 seconds. so cannot watch movie or youtube.

- (2022-10-12) Toady McFrogger: Macht genau das was es machen soll - den Audio Stream aus einem einzelnen Chrome Tab an Sonos übertragen. So kann man z.B. Musik von Youtube oder soundcloud direkt auf Sonos hören. Eignet sich allerdings "nur" für Musik und weniger für Video, da es einen ziemlich dicken Delay gibt (liegt vermutlich an Sonos? Keine Ahnung). Ansonsten funktioniert die Extension bei mir einwandfrei 👍
