[Suggestion] Music Player

I know it’s unlikely to actually be added, but it would enhance the experience in a lot of game modes to let us play our own music.

There would be a new option in the custom game settings labeled “Music Player,” and from this menu you would be able to add songs to a playlist of sorts. They would all likely have to be streamed from YouTube, unless there are better options.

The host player would be able to manually control the Music Player in the settings, like choosing to play/stop/pause a song, changing the loop mode or toggling shuffle, stuff like that.

The Workshop would also have some control over the Music Player, like playing a song at an index in the Music Player playlist, stopping/pausing the current song, changing the volume, etc.

And if we can't choose our own music from YouTube and such, then could we at least play stuff from the in-game Overwatch soundtrack?

Overall, this feature would make a lot of game modes more enjoyable. You could play intense music for boss battles and difficult PvE, you could play energetic music for minigame modes and generally silly modes, you could play somewhat relaxing music for calm modes like card games, and with chill/kill servers you could play whatever the heck you wanted!

What music would you play for your modes?

Plus the option to mute server music as a player when joining a custom game.

It is cool but think how many really useful tools are on their way and we are still dreaming about them. Music player is only for fun but there are so many much more important (high priority) we are lacking. As a big fun and developer of the workshop I would not recommend to add a music player into 4-5 next updates and keep a focus on fixes and management tools.

YES PLEASE!
I’ve suggested this before (tho it didnt get much feedback) because it’s so dull especially in like skirmishes. Too quiet its disturbing.

Post all you suggestions here [WIKI-THREAD] Workshop suggestions 2! - #189 by CoyoteStarrk-21645. Also a similar request Question about tos and workshop , there is a OCR or text to speech feature mentioned, if Blizzard finds a way to ensure Copyright with an OW Sound Library or so, that would be really amazing.
