Can I install this in the ceiling? null

It's an enclosed speaker. I suppose you could custom-build something to mount it in the ceiling, but it does require power and at least for initial setup, you'll need a Cat-5 or better Ethernet cable. If you do custom-build something, make sure you can easily remove it to set it up again if you're WiFi ever changes.

I wouldn't recommend that. The Play 5 has three tweeters, of which two are directional, on either end of the speaker. Therefore, your soundstage would be severely skewed once the reflective high-frequencies were to bounce all over your floors and walls. This would cause unwanted time delays within your audio presence.

Is not appropriate to install in the Ceiling, Has a rounded and smooth shape,

No, I don't see how you can. It's a shelf-style unit.
