What is Multi-Room?
Multi-Room allows you to play your favourite BBC Sounds music, podcasts or radio stations on multiple Alexa-enabled devices at the same time with our Alexa skill. To find out more, have a look here: Amazon Multi-Room.
Please note, the BBC is not responsible for content on third-party websites.
How do I set up and use Multi-Room?
You first need to set up speaker group/s in the Alexa app. For information and support on how to do this, have a look at the following page: Play Music with Multiple Alexa Devices.
Please note, we recommend using the default group names provided when setting up device and speaker groups.
Once you have set your speaker group/s up you can ask for any BBC Sounds content to be played on the group, rather than a single device, for example:
- ‘Alexa, Ask BBC Sounds to play Radio 4 on the Everywhere group’
- ‘Alexa, Ask BBC Sounds to play Desert Island Discs in the Kitchen’
- ‘Alexa, Ask BBC Sounds to play Focus Beats on the Study group’
