Using the Music app

The Music app for Zoom brings music to your meetings. Whether you are hosting a team meeting, a fitness session, a birthday gathering, or a study hour, the Music app provides an easy way to add music to your meeting for just yourself or everyone to hear. You can also use the Music app outside of a meeting, adding a soundtrack to your solo work.

Music from the Music app may be recorded in a meeting, and the recording may be shared, including on the web, social media, and email.

Prerequisites for using the Music app

• Zoom desktop client
  • Windows: version 5.12.6 or higher
  • macOS: version 5.12.6 or higher
• The following domain must be whitelisted: music.zoomapp.cloud

2. Search for Music.

How to use the Music app

1. Click Apps  in a meeting or on the main client.
2. Open the Music app.
3. A list of available playlists are displayed, sorted by themes and moods.
4. Hover your cursor over a playlist and click the play icon  or anywhere on the box to start playing that playlist.
   Audio and playback controls, as well as song details will appear at the bottom of the app panel.
5. Skip to the next song, go back to the previous song, set audio level, and browse through the current song anytime using the music player

Notes:

• This will share all of your computer audio with the meeting, not only the audio from the Music app.
• The participant using the Music app must be the only participant sharing, as multiple simultaneous shares will prevent the music from being heard by all.
