I know I can use Windows built in media player to cast audio to my Sonos Beam. Is there a way to make Media Center playback to Sonos? If not, is that on a features list? 

Thanks

It does play to Sonos now.

It does play to Sonos now.

Please explain how to enable it. Thank you.

Did you try a Google search?

Yes, which is where I learned how to setup Windows Media Player to cast to the Sonos Beam. That allows casting from the player or from file explorer (via right click). I couldn’t find anything in Media Center or Help on how to use that functionality. Thanks again.

The Beam should show up under Playing Now as a zone. Simply select that zone for playback. If you have several Sonos speakers you can group them in the Sonos app and music will go to all of them in sync.

Thank you for bearing with me and my ignorance.
