FAQs

On Move, how do I change the volume of my coaches and music during a Tempo class?
You can change the volume of your coaches before or during a class through the Tempo app’s “Music sources” tab. However, you’ll need to use your phone or TV volume controls to adjust the music and overall volume.

On Studio, how do I change the volume of my coaches and music during a Tempo class?
You can control the mix of your coach and music volume through the Tempo Studio.

If you want to adjust the volume, tap on the volume icon in class. Changing the volume on the phone does not change the volume on Studio (except when you mute it).

Will the music continue after the class?
Yes, music is playing in another app on your device, hence music will continue unless you pause it there.

Will the music stop if I switch profiles?
Yes, the music playing from your paired device is Bluetooth connected to your specific class.

Can I play my own music during live classes?
Yes

Will my music play throughout the class, including warm ups and cooldowns?
Yes

Move Troubleshooting

I’m unable to see the option to play my own music.
Make sure your app is updated to the most recent version.

The music stops when I switch to the Tempo app.
Playing your personal music only works from an app that lets you play audio in the background. For example, YouTube free stops once you switch to another app. Therefore you will not be able to stream it while using the Tempo app. Conversely, YouTube premium will continue to play in the background when you are using another app.

Studio Troubleshooting

I’m unable to pair my device.

Go to your device’s Bluetooth settings and wait to see if your Tempo appears in the device list
Turn your device’s Bluetooth off and on
Turn your Tempo Studio off and on

I’m unable to connect to my device.

Make sure your device is within 2 feet of your Studio and that your Bluetooth is on.

If that doesn’t work, try unpairing and repairing your device.

Go to the Bluetooth page on your Studio
1. Tap on the icon and “Forget device”

Go to the Bluetooth page on your device
Tap on the info icon and “Forget device”

Try pairing your device again by tapping on “Connect a new device” below either in Bluetooth Settings or Equipment setup screen.

The music breaks up when connected to the Studio.
Move your device closer to the Studio or nest your device behind your Studio screen if it fits.

The music breaks up when connected to my Airpods.
The Airpod connection may be unreliable. Use the speakers on Studio and Move for the best experience.
