Soundbar 500 & Spotify

[tamatoa]

Hi, I'm looking to buy a Soundbar 500.  I use Google Assistant in my home.  I want to know if I can cast / stream Spotify Premium directly from the Spotify App (not Bose app) to a Soundbar 500?

Also, if watching / listening to TV via HDMI-ARC, do I first need to change Input on the Soundbar before I can start streaming Spotify (& stop watching TV)? or vice versa change input to stop Spotify & start TV audio?   Thanks!

Hey tamatoa, 

Thank you for posting and welcome to the Bose Community. I would love to answer any questions you may have about the Soundbar 500. 

Yes, you will be able to stream directly to the Soundbar via Spotify Connect! You won't need to remove the HDMI cable to switch sources, you can simply use the remote or the Bose Music App to switch sources. 

If you have any other questions about the system please do let us know 😊 . 

Kind regards,
