How can I incorporate the YOYO (L) into a multiroom system?

As the YOYO (L) includes Chromecast Built-in this will allow you to add the YOYO (L) to a Cast speaker group. Once added you will be able to Cast audio to multiple speakers at the same time.

To add the YOYO (L) to a Cast speaker group please follow the instructions below (Please be aware the YOYO L speaker was renamed 'Family room Speaker'):

1. Ensure all Cast speakers and YOYO (L) are on the same network.

2. Download the Google Home app from the App Store (iOS device) or the Play Store (Android device).

3. Once download you should find all available Cast speakers on your network. The app will break these down to show speakers you have assigned to a particular room and also list all unassigned speakers as 'Local devices'.
