Abstract
Techniques are described for shared audio functionality between multiple computing devices, based on identifying computing devices in a device set. The devices may provide audio output, audio input, or both audio output and input. The devices may be organized into one or more device sets based on location, supported functions, or other criteria. The shared audio functionality may enable a voice command received at one device to be employed for controlling audio output or other operations of other device(s) in the device set. Shared audio functionality between devices may also enable synchronized audio output through using multiple devices.
