Spotify & music sources

Choose YouTube or Spotify as the music source; connect Spotify and pick a playlist.

Progress can play background music while you work. You choose the source — YouTube for everyone, or Spotify for a connected admin.

Pick a music source

1
Open music settings

Go to Settings and find the music source options.

2
Choose YouTube or Spotify

YouTube works for anyone and stays free. Spotify is available to admins and requires a Spotify Premium account.

Connect Spotify

1
Connect your account

In Settings, connect Spotify and sign in. This is admin-only.

2
Pick a playlist

Choose a playlist or search for one to set as the playing context.

Why Spotify is admin-only

Spotify playback needs a Premium account and is limited to admins by design. YouTube is the source available to everyone, and it stays free and unpaywalled.
