How can you remove "now playing" from the new control center in Big Sur Is it possible to remove the &quot;Now Playing&quot; (Music) section of the Control Center in Big Sur?
The mac is my work machine, and I never (can't) listen to music when I work, it's not a big deal, but it's always nice to be able to fine tune a machine setup, and for me that would mean removing this.
What I've tried:
I found this help from Apple about customisng the Control Center: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchl50f94f8f/mac
But when you get to the relevant setting, it simply says &quot;Now Playing is always available in the control centre&quot; You can optionally show it in the menu bar but can't get it out of the control centre as far as I know.
I don't believe that it is possible to edit the portion of Control Center that includes Now Playing. Just as on iOS, that is included in the top portion that cannot be changed. I haven't heard of any apps or utilities that are able to change how the Control Center is laid out, either. If you want the ability to change that, perhaps file some feedback with Apple.
