Set up Phase Pal Music Bridge
You need Chrome 116 or later, the Phase Pal desktop app, and the matching music helper. The browser music connection supports Windows and macOS. It does not support Linux or ChromeOS. Supported sites are Spotify Web, YouTube Music, and SoundCloud; regular YouTube is not included.
This page does not yet provide a helper download. If your Phase Pal release does not include the music helper, contact support. The extension alone cannot install the desktop helper.
Windows helper installation
Use the Windows music-helper package supplied with your Phase Pal release. Extract the complete ZIP to a folder, then run Install.cmd as your normal Windows user. The package installs the helper and registers it for Chrome for that user. It does not need Node.js, Rust, Python, or an administrator account. Close Chrome before installing or updating the helper, then open Chrome again. Only use a package from Phase Pal. If Windows blocks the package, contact support; do not turn off Windows security protections.
macOS helper installation
Use the music helper supplied for your Mac and Phase Pal release. Apple Silicon and Intel Macs need a compatible helper. Restart Chrome after installation. If your release has no Mac helper installer, contact support. Do not bypass macOS security checks to install an unverified helper.
Start and stop music sync
Open Phase Pal and enable Dance to Music in its settings. Start music on a supported site. Click the extension icon on that tab and select Enable Beat Sync. You can enable Auto Beat Sync to save automatic capture as a local preference. Chrome can still require a click for each new music tab. Select Stop Beat Sync to stop capture and disable automatic restart.
Connection help
Install the music helper: Chrome could not find the registered helper. Install the package for this extension and your Windows user or Mac account, then restart Chrome.
Music helper disconnected: restart Chrome. If the error continues, reinstall the matching helper package. Close Chrome before updating or uninstalling it.
Phase Pal is unavailable: open the desktop app. If it is already open, restart the app and Chrome. Confirm that the app, extension, and helper versions are compatible.
Update the music connection: update Phase Pal, the extension, and the helper together. A helper package must allow the ID of your installed extension.
Another browser is connected: stop the other music connection or close that browser profile, then try again.
Remove the connection
Stop Beat Sync and close Chrome. On Windows, run Uninstall.cmd from the music-helper package. This removes the owned Chrome registration and helper files. Remove the extension separately in Chrome. Removing the helper does not delete your Phase Pal avatars, account, or app settings.
