Media control card

The media control card is used to display media player entities on an interface with easy to use controls.

To add the media control card to your user interface:

1. In the top right of the screen, select the edit button.
   • If this is your first time editing a dashboard, the Edit dashboard dialog appears.
     • By editing the dashboard, you are taking over control of this dashboard.
     • This means that it is no longer automatically updated when new dashboard elements become available.
     • Once you’ve taken control, you can’t get this specific dashboard back to update automatically. However, you can create a new default dashboard.
     • To continue, in the dialog, select the three dots menu, then select Take control.
2. Add a card to your dashboard.
