How it works

Three steps, zero setup

No setup screen, no import wizard — Spotify lives on the same board as everything else and it's running before the class has sat down.

The whole setup: tap it on the dock, drag it where the class can see it.

1

Open the dock and tap Spotify

Paste a link to a playlist, album or track.

2

Press play

The player sits on your board with everything else — music without leaving the lesson.

Swap by routine

Different links for different moments: focus, tidy-up, golden time.

Classroom ideas

Try it tomorrow

Three ways teachers actually run spotify — steal one for tomorrow morning.

Writing-time albums

The same instrumental album for every writing block. Within a fortnight the first bars mean 'pens out' all on their own.

Genre of the week

Jazz this week, film scores the next, played quietly at entry — a year of music appreciation for zero planning.

Birthday DJ

The birthday student picks the entry song from your class playlist. Cheap joy, zero admin, remembered forever.

Same dock, one tap away

Pairs well with

Every tool lives on the same board — these turn spotify into a whole routine.

Timer

Playlist on one side, countdown on the other — the classic.

Wallpaper

Sound plus scene: full ambience mode.

Noise Meter

If the room gets louder than the music, the meter says so.

Photo Album

Soundtrack under the slideshow — instant montage.

…and the rest of the dock is one tap away:

FAQ

Good to know

Do I need Spotify Premium?

The widget uses Spotify's own embedded player, so what plays follows your Spotify account status in that browser.

Playlists or single songs?

Either — playlists, albums and single tracks all embed the same way.

Can I keep music and the timer up together?

Yes — that's the classic combo: playlist on one side, countdown on the other.

Do I need a Boardee account to try it?

No Boardee login and nothing to install — your board saves on this device, and an account is only for other devices. Spotify itself may ask for its own sign-in to play full tracks.
