While Discord may be a popular choice among gamers, the communication platform has expanded beyond gaming over the past year. Now, it not only hosts Valheim and Among Us servers but is also home to K-pop fan communities, tech enthusiasts, and melophiles, among others. And well, if you didn’t know, Discord has a handy feature that lets you listen to music with friends on Spotify. Called Listen Along, you can tune in to your favorite music while staying connected with your friends on Discord. In this article, we will show you how to host a Spotify Listening Party on Discord.
Before getting started, it is important to note that all the participants will need a Spotify Premium account to access the feature. If you invite a friend who doesn’t have Spotify Premium, they will get an error message and won’t be able to participate in the listening party. With that out of the way, here’s how to start a “Listen Along” session on Discord.
Your friend (or channel members) will now get an invite link. Now, all they have to do is click on the “Join” button in the invite to take part in the listening party. And, since the link is dynamic, it will automatically change the preview when you switch songs.
To leave a Spotify listening party, click on the ‘X’ button present above to the profile picture preview.
