The problem
Office Background Music
Problem
Same loop on every floor
Office and lobby playlists are short, so staff hear the same tracks all week. People tune out or complain, and facilities teams end up rebuilding playlists by hand just to keep the space from feeling stale.
With Mubert
Realtime generative streams run in 150+ moods and themes, and intensity can change while the stream plays. Calm focus music in the morning can lift for a busy afternoon without a restart.
Problem
Background music with licensing doubts
Playing consumer streaming or random stock tracks in a workplace can raise licensing questions, and facilities staff are left sorting out paperwork or pulling music after a complaint. Nobody wants to own that risk.
With Mubert
Tracks and streams come through the API under your license, and per-end-user credentials count each customer's usage against it. Check the plan table, since not every plan covers sub-licensing or monetized content.
Problem
Every space needs different music
A quiet focus area, a break room and a reception desk need different moods, tempos and lengths. Hand-picking and trimming tracks for each one takes hours, and nobody maintains it after launch.
With Mubert
Generate tracks from text, an image, BPM, genre and mood, from 15 seconds up to 25 minutes in MP3 or WAV. Or filter the library of about 12,000 pre-generated tracks by genre, mood, activity or BPM.

Office Background Music
How it fits your product
Office background music has to stay out of the way of talking. Keep the tempo at 85 to 100 BPM, with soft Rhodes, mellow guitar and quiet brushed drums, and avoid sharp leads or vocals that compete with speech in meetings. Keep the dynamics flat so volume never jumps between tracks. A long track or a live stream works better than a short loop, since repetition gets noticed over a workday.
For a workplace app, a coworking platform or a hold-line system, the stream mode fits best. Your backend creates a customer for each user and gets a customer-id and access-token, then the client plays realtime music over WebRTC. You can change intensity while it plays, for example calmer during calls and slightly brighter at lunch. For fixed playlists, pull from the library by mood or BPM.

FAQ
Office Background Music
What kind of music works as background music in an office?
Low-energy instrumental music with no vocals and a steady tempo works best. Lo-fi, ambient, soft jazz and light electronica all fit. With Mubert you can set genre, mood and BPM in the prompt, choose a duration up to 25 minutes, or stream endless music in 150+ moods and themes.
Can I give each employee or app user their own music stream?
Yes. Your backend creates a customer for each of your users through the Mubert API and receives a customer-id and access-token for that person. Their usage counts against your license. Like and dislike feedback can also be sent to personalize what each person hears.
