Playing background music

To play background music on stage, hover over the music track in the Stage tab and click Bring to screen.

Once brought to the screen, the track will loop until removed. Music share does not appear as a video tile but as a floating button in the upper left corner. Hover over the content tile in the Host panel to choose from 2 pre-defined volume levels.

If the music track is no longer needed in the Studio, hover over the content tile, click the Menu icon, and click Remove from studio. To change the internal name of the uploaded track, click the Menu icon and click Rename.

Note: After being removed from the Studio, the uploaded music can still be found under Previous Uploads and added back.
