What is Jukebox?

Jukebox is a collaborative music player that lives right inside your SchoolSpace world. Admins add songs from YouTube to the Jukebox Catalog. Everyone near the Jukebox can listen together, watch updates live as songs change, and add songs from the Jukebox Catalog.

Jukebox is perfect for:

• Class parties or themed events.
• Break times in student lounges.
• Background music for a club meeting or study area.

Tips for Jukebox

• Take requests: Ask for suggestions in chat or create and share a simple form (e.g., Google Form, Typeform) for students to request songs! You can even attach your form link to an asset in the world. Admins can add requested songs to the Jukebox Catalog and everyone can add them to the Playlist.
• Add visual flair: Pair your Jukebox with lights, posters, or event decorations from the Asset Library to make it stand out.
• Keep it social: Place Jukebox where students naturally gather like near seating areas, on a dance floor, or in the main plaza.
• Set the tone: Create different Jukeboxes for different events or areas in the world (e.g., relaxing music in study zones and upbeat tunes in party areas).
