The above keyboard shortcuts only work when Spotify is the app on your computer currently in focus. If you're using another program, you can't use the convenient shortcuts to play/pause, skip a track, change the volume, and similar.

However, don't forget about the media keys on your keyboard! All Mac keyboards and many Windows keyboards have keys that let you adjust the volume, play/pause, and change tracks. They're the easiest way to make a quick change without swapping back to Spotify.

Depending on your keyboard, these may be dedicated buttons or require you to hold a key like Fn while pressing another button.

If you use Windows 10 or 11, a popup will appear every time you use these keys, which you may find annoying. In Spotify, go to Edit > Preferences and disable Show desktop overlay when using media keys to stop that popup from appearing.

Become a Spotify Master


With these shortcuts and tips, you're all set to get more out of Spotify than ever before. Keep these shortcuts in mind next time you're swapping tracks or making a new playlist, and you'll accomplish them without your hands leaving the keyboard.

Next, it might be time to clean up and optimize your Spotify playlists.
