Examples involve a control device using a social networking service to facilitate registration of a streaming media service with a media playback system. An example implementation receives (i) data indicating login credentials for a given account of a social networking service, and (ii) input data to configure streaming media services with a media playback system. Based on receiving the input data to configure the media playback system, the implementation queries the social networking service for streaming media services associated with the given account, and in response to the query, receives data indicating a first streaming media service associated with the given account. The implementation configures the media playback system to playback audio content from the first streaming media service that is associated with the given account and causes the media playback system to playback audio content from the first streaming media service.

Social network account assisted service registration

Configuration information and selectable grouping options associated with the plurality of zones is displayed, for example, on a wearable device. Selection of a first selectable grouping option is received and in response a configuration change is transmitted. The configuration change may comprise information indicating a first zone is to join a zone group with a second zone of the plurality of zones. Updated configuration information is received indicating that a media playback system includes the zone group comprising the first zone and the second zone. The updated configuration information is displayed on the wearable device.

Wearable device zone group control

An example implementation may involve a control device displaying, on a graphical interface, a prompt for login credentials. The example implementation may also involve the control device detecting input data at the prompt indicating a login credential for a given account of a social networking service. The example implementation may further involve the control device querying the social networking service for streaming media services that are associated with the given account of the social networking service. In response to the query, the control device may receive data indicating a first streaming media service that is associated with the given account of the social networking service. The example implementation may involve registering the first streaming media service with a media playback system and populating a queue of the media playback system with one or more particular media items from the first streaming media service.

Examples disclosed and described herein facilitate zone grouping and adjustment of zone representation dependent upon a zone's grouping status. An example method includes affecting, via a computing device, display and control of a user interface configured for a display of a wearable device, the user interface arranged to display at least a first item and a second item. The first item is displayed using a first graphical characteristic, and the second item is displayed using a second graphical characteristic. Each item corresponds to a zone and selectable to cause the corresponding zone to be added to a zone group. The example method includes triggering, via the computing device based on a selection, a joining of a second zone with a selected first zone group including a first zone represented by the first item.
