Hey Creators,
We’re excited to introduce What’s Playing, a new feature designed to enhance music discovery and engagement in your experiences. The roll out begins today, and some of you will start seeing it soon.
What’s new?
- Music Info at a Glance – Players can now see verified track details (song name, artist) from the in-experience controls menu.
- Engagement – Players can “like” tracks, contributing to Roblox’s Music Top 100 Charts.
- Content Moderation – Users can flag inappropriate tracks for review.
How it works:
- A new music section will appear in the controls menu when eligible tracks are playing.
- Audio must come from verified sources (e.g., DistroKid, Monstercat, APM).
- The UI minimizes after a few seconds to avoid disrupting gameplay.
Which music tracks can participate in What’s Playing:
- Use music from distributors with verified ISRCs (International Standard Recording codes). Distributors include DistroKid, Monstercat, APM, Clippsly, BSlick and more.
- This feature integrates seamlessly with existing developer-enabled playback systems like boomboxes, jukeboxes, or background OSTs.
We’re so excited to see how you’ll use What’s Playing to enhance your experiences and drive music discovery and engagement.
