How to listen songs together with friends on Spotify?
Welcome to Blackview (Well-known brand of rugged smartphone and tablet) blog. Hope the guide helps.
Listening to music is a shared experience that brings people together. As one of the best music player apps for Android, Spotify offers a fantastic feature called "Group Session" that allows you and your friends to listen to the same music simultaneously, even if you're in different locations. However, this feature requires a Spotify Premium subscription. Here's how to use it:
Requirements:
- Spotify Premium subscription for the host (you)
- Spotify accounts for you and your friends (free or premium)
Steps:
- Open the Spotify app on your phone or tablet.
- Choose a song or podcast you want to listen to together.
- Tap the "Connect" icon (circle with speaker waves) in the bottom-left corner.
- Select "Start a remote group session."
- Tap "Invite friends" and choose your preferred method (sharing link, copying link, etc.).
Your friends:
- Click the invite link you sent them.
- Join the session and enjoy listening together!
Additional features:
- Up to seven friends can join a group session.
- Everyone can control playback (play, pause, skip, volume).
- See who's currently in the session and what they're listening to.

To listen to Spotify with friends on Discord?
Unfortunately, Spotify doesn't directly integrate with Discord for group listening. However, you can still share music with friends through voice chat. Here are two options:
- Play music on Spotify and share your screen on Discord. This lets your friends hear the music you're playing.
- Use a Discord bot like Groovy Bot or Rythm Bot (these may have limitations or potential security risks). These bots allow users to play music directly in the Discord voice chat. Remember to use such bots cautiously and at your own discretion, considering the potential risks.
To listen to Spotify with friends on PC?
The process is very similar to mobile:
- Open the Spotify desktop app.
- Choose a song or podcast.
- Click the "Connect" icon (circle with speaker waves) in the bottom-right corner.
- Select "Start a remote group session."
- Click "Invite friends" and share the link through messaging apps or copy it directly.
To listen to Spotify with friends without premium?
Currently, Spotify's Group Sessions feature is exclusive to Premium subscribers. There's no built-in way to listen to music together in real-time without a premium subscription. However, you can explore alternative options:
- Create a shared playlist: Add songs you and your friends like to a shared playlist on Spotify. Everyone can then play the playlist individually (non synchronized playback), creating a semi-synchronized listening experience.
- Use online radio or watch parties: Explore online radio services or streaming platforms like YouTube that offer live streams or simultaneous playback options (may require separate subscriptions).
Remember: Always be mindful of online safety and copyright regulations when using music streaming services and third-party applications.
