Apple Music visualization broken

Hi Marcus Müller,

Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand the visual effects in the Music app on your Mac is not working properly. Have you verified your settings are correct? This article can help make sure: Turn on visual effects in Music on Mac.

"Use the visualizer to watch colorful light shows. You can use the visualizer with or without music; the effects change based on the type of music and whether it’s playing or paused.

1. In the Music app  on your Mac, do any of the following to play music:

• Stream songs from Apple Music
• Play songs from your library
• Play Apple Music radio
• Listen to an internet broadcast
• Play CDs

1. Note: A song needs to be playing before you can use the visualizer.
2. Do one of the following:

• Turn on visual effects: Choose Window > Visualizer.
• To change visualizer options, choose Window > Visualizer Settings > [option]. For example, to show or hide music videos, choose Window > Visualizer Settings > Play Videos. A checkmark means that videos will play. (Not all visualizers support options, so Options may be dimmed.)
• Tip: To show or hide a list of commands you can use to control the visualizer, press the Question Mark key (?) on your keyboard while the visualizer is on.
• Turn off visual effects: Choose Window > Visualizer (to remove the checkmark), or press the Esc key."

If your settings are correct and it's still not working properly, Contact Apple Support for further assistance.

Take care.
