Remarks

Starting with Windows 10, version 1607, UWP apps that use the MediaPlayer class to play media are automatically integrated with the SMTC by default. With automatic integration, you update the media metadata, such as the title of a media item, using the MediaPlaybackItem class. Call GetDisplayProperties to get an instance of the MediaItemDisplayProperties class. Update the object with the values you want to be displayed for the item in the SMTC and then call ApplyDisplayProperties to commit the changes. For how-to guidance on using the SMTC from your app, see Integrate with the SystemMediaTransportControls.

If you are disabling manual SMTC integration or you are targeting an older version of Windows, you must use the SystemMediaTransportControls.DisplayUpdater to update the media metadata. For how-to guidance on manually controlling the SMTC, see Manual control of the System Media Transport Controls.
