Connecting Sonos One to Your Wi-Fi Network
Ensure your Sonos One is powered on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your mobile device. Use the Sonos app to add your speaker if it is not already set up.
Open the Sonos app, go to Settings > System > Add Product, and follow the on-screen instructions to connect your Sonos One to your Wi-Fi network.
Linking Spotify with Sonos

Authorize Sonos to access your Spotify account. Once linked, you can control Spotify playback directly from the Sonos app or your device.
Setting Up Multi-Device Streaming
To stream music to multiple Sonos speakers simultaneously, create a group within the Sonos app. Select the ‘Rooms’ tab, then choose the speakers you want to include in the group.
Tap on ‘Create Group’ or similar option to combine your Sonos One with other compatible speakers. This allows synchronized playback across multiple devices.
Playing Spotify on Multiple Devices
Open the Spotify app on your device. Start playing a song or playlist. Tap the ‘Devices Available’ icon at the bottom of the screen.
Select your Sonos group from the list of available devices. The music will now stream across all speakers in the group.
Controlling Playback
You can control playback through the Spotify app, the Sonos app, or voice commands if you have voice assistants integrated with your Sonos system. Adjust volume, skip tracks, or pause playback as needed.
Troubleshooting Tips
- If the speakers are not appearing in the Spotify device list, ensure they are properly connected to Wi-Fi and linked to your Spotify account.
- Restart your Sonos and Spotify apps if connectivity issues persist.
