My Question or Issue

On some devices like receivers and soundbars, it is enough for the guests of a party to be on the same WiFi to seamlessly queue songs to the current live playlist. It seems like this is not possible on the regular PC...

Is there a way to activate this? Does JBL pay a license fee to be able to use the feature? Also it would be great if it worked on the phone. Meaning anyone on the same WiFi could enqueue songs on someone else's phone. 

This is how parties work! 🥳 The feature "Group session" is far to limited, includes sending links which are hard to find and is limited to 7 persons.

Hey @AdmiralGanja,

Thank you for reaching out here in the Community.

Group session is available only on mobile devices/tablets, meaning that you cannot start or join a Group Session from the desktop app. More info on the topic can be found in this FAQ.

We can see how that would be a handy feature and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know your thoughts. We’ll ensure your sentiment is passed on to the right people.
