A quick how-to of the beautiful Butter Music Player

Create a music playlist

To create a playlist before a session, go to your room toolbox, select ‘Add Tool’, and choose ‘Music Playlist’.

Start by giving your playlist a name (only you will see this).

Then, you can add as many songs as you’d like to your playlist by copy-pasting in links from YouTube or Soundcloud.

You can also reorder your playlist by dragging and dropping songs into any order.

Just hit ‘Save’ and you’re good to go!
