Windows 10: Windows 11 - Pause/skip/previous songs commands via keyboard

Hi all!I just bought a new Windows 11 laptop and I was wondering if there were a way to control music through keyboard.I tried PowerToys but it only works when I am on the app. Is there a way I can control music playing in the background e.g., skip/next/previous songs with keyboard shortcuts?I am thinking of something like the buttons⏯⏮⏭ on Macbooks.Thanks!!!

A program that lets you change songs without minimizing another program

You could just get a keyboard with button shortcuts for Next pause play and Previous.

That way if you want to skip a song you just hit the next button on your keyboard and there you go *Smile
