Now Playing is no longer going to be in my menu bar. Now even though Spotify is open, my podcast is open, I’m listening to something in YouTube. If we want it to be in the menu bar at all, even when I have an audio source active, I deselect this. From here, we can set if we want to show it in the menu bar. Over on the left, when we swipe up, you’re going to see Now Playing. To do that, we go down to our System Preferences, and then we go over to Dock & Menu Bar. We can set if we want this Now Playing here in the menu bar to be active all the time, or we can just remove it from the menu bar altogether. We have bowling balls here, but when I click on this, there are my three sources again. I go over to my Control Center, click on it. Now, when we go up to Now Playing, what do you think we’re going to see? Remember, I have three audio sources open, my three audio sources, Spotify, Podcasts, and YouTube. So now we’re watching this video on how bowling balls are made. Let’s go to YouTube and Bowling Balls How It’s Made. I mentioned in the introduction that this also works with YouTube. What about the Control Center? When I go over to my Control Center, we can see that we have Al Franken here well, what about Spotify? If I click on it, we can see both of those items, my podcasts, and Spotify. If I want to pause the podcast, I just click on pause here, and it pauses the podcast. So Now Playing does show you all of your different sources. When we go up to Now Playing here in the menu bar, we can see both of those playing here. Now I have two sources playing I have my Spotify playing, and then I also have podcasts playing. I click on it, and now we’re going to go and listen to this podcast here. What do you think we’re going to see when we go to the Control Center? Click on the Control Center, Rattle That Lock by David Gilmore. You’re going to see, I have my Now Playing in the menu bar, click on it, and we have Rattle That Lock by David Gilmore. And now let’s play David Gilmore, Rattle That Lock, I go up to Spotify, and I hide it. Now I mentioned that this works with multiple sources. If I were to play something again, it would show again.
I quit it, nothing is Now Playing, and now when we go up to the Control Center here, we no longer have anything playing, and if we look at the menu bar, we no longer have our Now Playing icon.
If I quit out of the Music app, let’s go ahead and quit out of this, I click on it, and then we go up to Music, and I go over to Quit. If you quit out of an app, it no longer shows what is playing, and in fact, what will happen is in the menu bar here, this Now Playing icon will disappear. I click on it, and again, I can see what is playing. And when we go to the menu bar, you’re going to see we have this new icon. I can also go to the next song or start over. If I click on it, it opens it up in a new modal window, and from here, I can pause it. I want to go to the next song I click on the arrows pointing to the right. If I want to pause it, I click on the pause button. When we’re in the Control Center, at the very bottom, we have Now Playing. Now, to see what is playing or what is Now Playing on the Mac, what we do is we go up to the Control Center. I go up to Music in the menu bar, and then we go over to Hide Music. Now, what I’m going to do is I’m going to hide the Music app. I click on the play button here, and it is playing. It opens up, and now let’s start playing Babylon from David Gray. As I mentioned in the introduction, this can be from the music app it can be from podcasts, it can be from Spotify and YouTube, a video in Safari. Now, the first thing we need to do is we need to start playing audio from a source. Let’s take a look at it Now Playing on the Mac. This can be a podcast and music from the Music app it can be music from Spotify or even a YouTube video. With Now Playing, we can easily see what is playing on our Mac. In this video, we’re going to take a look at Now Playing on the Mac.
