Connecting Home Pod to iMac

How do you get the iMac to output to the Home Pod? I have tried air-play and there is no choice for the Home-Pod.

Hi lion25.

You should be able to AirPlay from your iMac to a HomePod. Follow these steps:

  1. Make sure that your Mac and speaker are on the same Wi-Fi or ethernet network.
  2. Go to Apple () menu > System Preferences > Sound.
  3. Under Output, select a speaker that you want to stream audio to. If you select Show volume in menu bar, then you can quickly change the audio output by clicking  in the menu bar.


Be aware that you can't AirPlay to multiple speakers from the menu bar on a Mac.
