Control4 Music Streaming Tutorial
The video is a tutorial on how to add a new music streaming service to your Control4 system. Here are the main points:
- You can add streaming music services using a Control4 remote and your television, a touchscreen, or the Control4 mobile app.
- On the home screen, tap “listen” then “add music”. If you don’t see the “add music” icon, contact your dealer.
- Tap the music service you want to add, then type the name you want to use for the music service account. This is useful if multiple people in your household have individual accounts for a specific service.
- Tap “done”, then “ok”, and apply your changes.
- Now login to your new music service. On the home screen, tap “listen”, tap the music service you just added, then tap “login”. If you don’t already have an account with the music service, visit the music service’s website to create your account.
- Type your username and password, then tap “done”, then “login”. If you have more than one account for the same music service, you can repeat these steps for the additional accounts in your household.
- Next, specify the rooms where each music service account is available. For example, everyone’s music may be available to play in the kitchen or family room but you may only want your music available in your home office or master bedroom.
- To remove a service, on the home screen tap “listen”, tap “add music”, tap “edit”, tap the music service you want to edit, tap “remove service”, then tap “ok”. The music service is removed from your system and no longer displays in any rooms.
The video concludes by saying you are ready to enjoy your favorite streaming music service.
