Current Media (Now Playing)

Overview

See what's playing, right on your Stream Deck. With a single key, the current track’s cover art, artist, and title appear in real time—whether it’s Spotify, Chrome, Yandex Music, Soundcloud, or any app using Windows media controls. No more alt-tabbing to check the song or digging through windows to skip a track.

Key features:

Cover art on the key — Album or track artwork is shown directly on the Stream Deck key and updates as the track changes

Artist and title — See the performer(s) and track name; choose to show both, title only, or artist only

Large cover mode — Use a 2×2 grid of keys to display one big cover image

One key, full control — Tap for play/pause, next, previous, or seek 10s; or use dedicated keys for each action

Customize the look — Text display (artist, title, or both), optional marquee for long names, overlay for app icon and playback stats

Stream Deck+ dial support — Cover art, artist, title, and a progress bar

Idle background — Pick your own image to show when nothing is playing

Changes

Long press actions for Stream Deck keys. Assign a second action, such as Next Track or Seek Forward, to a long press.

Stream Deck+ dial and touch strip display: cover art, title, artist, and a progress bar with elapsed and total time. Long text scrolls as a marquee.

Idle background on the touch strip. A custom image from the action settings is shown when nothing is playing and is replaced by cover art during playback.

Settings grouped into Key, Dial, Touch Strip, and Display sections.
