If you’re using Windows, make sure you’re on the latest iTunes. You can’t use AirPlay 2 from just anywhere on your Mac to stream to multiple speakers (yet), but you can do it from iTunes really easily, assuming you’re running the very latest version of iTunes-check the App Store to see if there’s an update. You might have to hit the Play button again, but otherwise, it’s this easy to play audio across multiple rooms. Once you’ve got multiple devices selected, you can adjust the volume levels individually per device. You’ll notice in this screenshot that my Apple TV 2 doesn’t have a circle-that’s because I haven’t updated that device to 11.4 yet. Once you’ve got that open, click on the AirPlay icon to choose your speaker output, and if your devices are all updated with the latest version, you’ll see circles next to the devices that can be selected. Just pull up Control Center on your iPhone and long-press on the Music control to open it up. Playing music across multiple devices, even if they are in multiple rooms, could not be easier. How to Play Music Across Multiple Compatible Devices It’s worth noting that iPhones and iPads can be used as the controller device, not as the speakers. You can check out the full list of speakers that have announced support on Apple’s site, but you’ll have to check with the manufacturer to make sure. This includes Beats, Beoplay, BeoSound, BeoVision, Bose, Bowers & Wilkins, Denon, Marantz, Naim, Polk, and some Sonos speakers.

If you want to stream to multiple devices, here are the devices that actually support AirPlay 2: This all sounds great, but unless you have compatible hardware, it’s not going to help you much. So if you have a HomePod in your kitchen and Apple TVs hooked up in the living room and bedroom, you can play music across all of these rooms at once with just a tap. As long as everything is hooked to the same Wi-Fi network and supports AirPlay 2, you can stream across the devices.
AirPlay 2 adds the ability to stream music from your iPhone to multiple speakers or devices across any number of rooms in your house.
