Media Control
Spotify, Sonos, and local media — play, pause, skip, and adjust volume. All from your UltraBARX. No more switching windows to control your music.
How to Configure
Set up your Media Control widget in a few simple steps.
Add the Media Control widget
In Ultra WorkSpace, drag the "Media Control" widget from the right panel onto your CoreBar screen simulator.
Select your audio source
Choose your preferred audio service:
- Spotify — log in with your account for full playback control
- Sonos — automatically discovers speakers on your Wi-Fi network
- System Audio — controls whatever is playing on your PC
Integrate with KnobKey
Map your KnobKey to volume control for tactile, blind-operation audio adjustments. Left and right rotation can be configured separately.
Deploy and play
Click "Deploy". On your UltraBARX, tap the media card to expand the full control panel — play, pause, skip, and scrub through tracks.
When to Use It
Real-world scenarios where the Media Control widget enhances your workflow.
