NotchMind and YouTube Music.

Play YouTube Music in the desktop app or in your browser and control it from the notch.

What it does with YouTube Music

  • Now playing, play, pause, skip and scrub from the notch.
  • The favorite button works with the YouTube Music desktop app.
  • A floating player and lock screen music, with lyrics where they’re available.

Set it up

  1. Play something in the YouTube Music app or on music.youtube.com.
  2. Grant Media Controls in Settings → General → Permissions.
  3. To show only YouTube Music, set Playback source to YouTube Music in Settings → Now Playing.

Good to know

  • In a browser, the notch shows what the browser reports to macOS. If a song doesn’t appear in Control Centre’s Now Playing either, NotchMind can’t see it.
