How to stop displaying what's playing on my phone

Like the title says, how do I stop android wear from displaying what my phone is playing?

If I play music from Google music/youtube it shows up on my watches display, how do I stop this?

Install Feel the Wear, you can block notifications from your watch for any app.

would you also be able to use the Android Wear App to block the YOUTUBE or GOOGLE MUSIC app notifications?

I have the same issue with Spotify. When I start playing Spotify, I get a spotify full screen thing on the watch with the track played and <</>> controls. Annoying, I don't care about the controls cause I can control Spotify from my true wireless earphones. I can't find a way to disable that.

Did you find a way to do it @Jaws4God?

I did not actually look.. I just know you can block apps via the WearOS app so didn't know if that would help.. I guess I could test it and see if it works..

I've tried this and it seems like it works for YouTube but it doesn't work for Google play music.

I found a way to stop my watch from showing what I'm playing. When you play a video or song from YouTube or Google play music and the media controls show up on the watch, long press the media controls face (in the center) and you get an option menu. One of the options is to turn off the media controls. Hopefully this helps someone.

OH MY GOODNESS! THANK YOU!! I never knew we could do that. I just tried and it works amazingly! I now have added a shortcut to "Media Controls" on the watch face and the controls don't appear automatically anymore! Exactly what I wanted. Thanks

How did you add the shortcut for media controls?

How did you add the shortcut for media controls?

I can add 4 custom shortcuts with the watch face i'm using (Called "Quante"). In the list of apps and functions, there is one called "media controls". Which means that as soon as I listen to music on the phone, that shortcut let me have access to the media controls.
What I originally wanted is for the media controls to NOT automatically come up, only when I pressed the shortcut and your solution worked like a charm.
