    Hi
    I've two tablets in different rooms that connect to a speaker each
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00YU3ZVPM
    Is there a way to multiroom the speakers?
    To make one tablet control both speakers?
    Or some other way?
    Thanks

    Do they have 3.5mm in? If so you could add a Chromecast Audio to each

    Thats Sonos' USP.

    You cant just stream to two uncontrolled clients as they wont be in sync.

    For this purpose, you should have bluetooth speakers, I guess.

    If you want to use those speakers you're a bit restricted in how you go about it.

    Chromecast Audio's would be perfect and they'll allow you do exactly what you're looking for.

    Google don't sell them anymore unfortunately, though they're sometimes available at CeX or adverts though usually at a ridiculous price there.

    You could however use a pair of Amazon Echo Flex units.

    They're a small Alexa device you plug straight into a wall with a tiny speaker but they have a 3.5mm output.

    You can set them up as a stereo pair or as two speakers in a group or separately and you get full Alexa services on them too.

    They're on sale at the moment for £10 each with free delivery if you happen to be a Prime subscriber.
