Set up voice recognition on HomePod or HomePod mini - Apple Support
Siri on HomePod and HomePod mini can recognize multiple voices, so everyone in your home can enjoy personalized music and media. And you can do even more when you enable Personal Requests, like send messages and make phone calls.

No problem! In adding the new links that I came up with, I noticed that yours seemed to be missing a digit. It was easy enough to figure out what had been intended.
Thanks Phil, I was confused because a Youtuber doing a review said you 'can't use two HomePod Minis' as output source. Which struck me as odd, but I guess they still all connect anyway through the HomeKit network if I'm understanding right now?
The paired stereo HomePods will be selectable as an AirPlay 2 output source, so for the apps and programs that use AirPlay 2, they will be selectable in that way.
Regular audio output for an iMac or laptop, on the other hand, will still see the two HomePods as separate and not the stereo pair.
It is an ongoing issue with HomePods and AirPlay that has been present since HomePods and stereo pairing was first introduced. I'm sure there is a thread on the topic in here somewhere, that will go into this in more detail.
