Spotify lets you enhance your Discord experience by linking your accounts, allowing friends to see what you’re listening to, adding a live music status to your profile, and using the Listen Along feature to sync playback in real time—ideal for shared music moments while chatting or gaming. To connect, simply go to User Settings > Connections in the Discord app, select the Spotify icon, and authorize the link. Once connected, you can choose whether your listening activity appears on your profile or in the sidebar. If both users have Spotify Premium, you can hover over a friend’s name and join their session via Listen Along. To disconnect, return to Connections and click the X next to Spotify. This integration blends music discovery with social connection, making Discord more dynamic and personal.
