Make HomePod mini work as home theater speakers
Why can’t I use HomePod mini as home theater? It appears to advertised to be used as a home theater speaker. I paired two mini’s together but cannot make them the default speakers in the HomeKit app.

You need Apple TV 4k and the big HomePods (not minis) to set as default audio, but you can still stream audio from Apple TV to HomePod mini or a HomePod mini stereo pair using AirPlay.
