Thank you. Did the reset and now have my Roam connected to latest SONOS app. Had it connected to legacy SONOS app. Got rid or all my legacy SONOS equipment to simplify. Have much SONOS equipment and will check out your other SONOS content.
Thanks a lot you are a saviour. Explained it so well. I went to the store and asked the SONOS representative and even they Cudnt help me well on what are actually the modes for the back button: this video explains it well thnx a TON 🎉
Hi! We used to have the entire SONOS system at our house. But we ended our relationship. Can I buy only a SONOS Roam and create my own new SONOS account and just play through Roam speaker, or should I have the original speakers first and in addition the Roam?
You can use Roam only if you wish but I would recommend to only have one to cary and small speaker like the Sonos one for the rest as they play so much better.
Like always your How to’s are simple and efficient. I now understand almost all my roam functions. The only thing missing, but this isn’t a part of your excellent video is I can’t get it to join my google home. I also can’t get my Sonos one to join google since I’ve upgraded to S2 sonos app. I follow all the steps but when I get to the part where google searches for new devices it won’t see them. Little tech issue that I’m working to find a workaround.
Thanks Mike! Well I did that video but I think it's now outdated : th-cam.com/video/I3-DL0Utm2U/w-d-xo.html In the Sonos app. 1. Setting gear 2. Sercices & voices 3. Google Assistant. 4. I think you will be good to figure it out from there. 😉 Passe une belle journée! 😉
@@HowToPM thanks for the help, like you said I do manage the procedure it is very easy I’ve tried it many times but for some reason S2 won’t see my Sonos Roam and One. I use to have my Sonos One on S1 and worked perfectly. It’s really a mystery and continuing my research. It’s a good thing I love problem solving in I.T. ;-)
@@HowToPM hey I managed to connect my Sonos One and Roam to Google home. it wouldn’t connect because in google my sonos one had been connected previously with S1 app. I removed my sonos one in Google home app and then was able the add it and the sonos roam while using the sonos S2 app.
I love my Sonos Roam, it’s a great speaker and the sound is amazing, the functionality is great and the design is nice. My complain is Why Sonos didn’t include a power adapter? Just the cable and that’s it, my unit also gets a little bit hot when I use it too much time even when it’s charging. What happens?
Hi José. Well, USB is now a standard thing and most people already have a lot useless USB power brick. You can even have it directly on the wall now. So many company stop to sell their product with it. About the heat I don't think it's a problem, espeacially when you charging it. Charging a battery produce heat.
Can you skip a song while playing without access to the app? Also, I should add that at my workplace (where we are using them) we cannot have the virtual assistant in use. Why? Because after a very lengthy conversation with technical support, apparently the assistant will work with 3 sonos speakers but not any more than that. So please if there is a way to skip a song without either of these things we would all love to know!
I's really simple until you wnat to take your Roam pair on hols. then you have to factory reset Roams and start set up again once you are off your home router. pita
Bro I'm losing my mind all's I get is a blinking green button a red button and when I push the power button in the back it's inconsistent and just kind of does whatever it wants but it refuses to give me a blue button or a blinking blue button just green and white button and it also makes no sound when I push the power button in the back It seems to be extremely defective and it's brand new
Such an irritating speaker. For a button that is at the centre of the product, it isn't nice, or particularly ergonomic to press. It gets pressed whilst in my bag and then merely being connected to a device for a fair length of time, drains the battery. It isn't particularly great if the products 'minimal' design compromises the basic functions of off on, and then connecting. Just have a bt button and a wifi button and then a decent button/ toggle. Outrageous as they're pretty pricey!! It does sound great though.
I have several Sonos and all are brilliant. I utterly despise this thing, it is the most unresponsive useless piece of crap in my house. Can't get it to work properly, it just sits there ignoring you no matter how loud you shout or which button you press. Then it works but gives no reason as to why it did it for the next time. Rubbish
I’ve got a Sonos Roam and I hate it, with out doubt the worst piece of electrical equipment I’ve ever bought. Shame on Sonos, shame on them - I’ll never buy anything from them again.
I've had one for a year and just found out how to use it properly, thanks.

Good vid - you should write the user manual for Sonos - rather than the junk they provide
Ahah! 😂 Thank you. 😉
Great video. I'm playing with the Sonos ecosystem - so this especially useful for the Sonos Roam/SL/2. Thanks
Thank you for the video!! I bought sonos for a year and get confused with the back button!!
Great video - helped a lot. Thank you.
Thank you so much I can finally use it!

In the Sonos app.
1. Setting gear
2. Sercices & voices
3. Google Assistant.
4. I think you will be good to figure it out from there. 😉
Passe une belle journée! 😉
Note that google assistant will only work on Wi-Fi mode.

The only reason I can see it won't connect on Wi-Fi is because it would be on bluetooth mode.

Do you need to have Sonos App to use it only as a bluetooth speaker?
Yes for the initial setup
@@HowToPM Thanks! Very helpful!

I think a double tap on play is a skip and a triple tap go back.
this video helped me a lot to install my Sonos Roam ! thanks
Well done!
Great video
Just got my first ever sonos speaker!! Was a birthday gift and I love it!! This video helped me a great deal on how I can get to know it!! Thank you!!
Ahah!! Thank you for your comment I'm glad you enjoyed.
Happy birthday. 😉
@@HowToPM thank you so much! Excited to see more of your videos!
Você tem sutaque de brasileiro
Thank you
Cannot access the microphone. Tried to on WiFi and Bluetooth, microphone doesn’t light
You have to setup a voice service first. And it will only work on Wi-Fi.
What if the light is green

What if the light is yellow?????

Oh now I just turned up the volume and it gave me a Orange button
This thing will not show up on my Bluetooth options on my phone and I have a Galaxy S21 ultra

Just purchased one worst speaker ever can’t even connect to Bluetooth this company will bankrupt in no time
You need to connect it on wi-fi with the app first.
I think they a very far from bankrupt but clearly, they failed on that one.
Worst UX ever
