I want to display a control icon on my lock screen for YouTube Music, similar to the one I have now for Doggcatcher podcasts:

How do I do that?
LG ThinQ G8, Android 10

Thanks, that setting is not on my phone. I've scoured the manual, only talks about shortcuts to apps on the lockscreen. I don't remember how I got the control widget for Doggcatcher, I think it was a choice during the install of the app.

I figured it out. The lockscreen doesn't support widgets, they are notifications. I found two things that have to be set properly:

settings->Apps & notifications -> Notifications -> Apps -> "Youtube Music enabled"
settings->Apps & notifications -> Notifications -> Lock Screen -> "Show all notifications"

I turned both those things on and the control "widget" appears on the lockscreen.
