How to change AirPlay settings for a HomePod

You can change your AirPlay settings for your HomePod. For instance, you can control how others connect to all of your HomePod speakers using AirPlay. Here’s how:

• Open the Home app on your iPhone and tap the arrow in the upper-left corner.
• Tap Home Settings, then tap your Home.
• Under Speakers, Allow Speaker Access then choose from the following:

    •    Everyone: Anyone with in range of your HomePod can see and play to it.

    •    Anyone On the Same Network: Anyone connected to your home Wi-Fi network can AirPlay to your HomePod.

    •    Only People Sharing This Home: Only people that you invite to share control of your Home in the Home app can AirPlay to HomePod.

    •    Require Password: To AirPlay to HomePod, users will need to enter a password.
