Discord, the popular messaging app, is unquestionably a social media tool. And, while Spotify doesn’t have any built-in social features, there are lots of ways to let people in on your listening habits.
For example, if you have both a Discord and a Spotify account, you may link the two and notify your Discord buddies when you’re streaming music and what you’re listening to.
Use the desktop version of Discord for Mac and PC or the mobile Discord app for iPhone and Android to connect your Spotify account to Discord.
Click the Spotify logo to begin connecting your Spotify account to your Discord account.
The “Connections” section will reveal that Spotify is connected to Discord once you authorize your Discord and Spotify accounts to connect. Your Spotify username will also be shown as a badge on your Discord profile (you can turn this off in the Connections menu).
You can switch off both of these options.
When you play Spotify on the same computer as you’re connected into Discord, your status will automatically change to “Listening to Spotify.”
Other users can click on your name to see what music you’re listening to, play it on their own computer, or “Listen along” with you, which means every song you play will be played on their Spotify account as well. You can also disable this setting under the Connections menu.
Finally, in any channel where you have access, you can pick “Invite to Listen to Spotify” from the giant plus sign (+) next to the chat box to provide a link that allows others to listen along with you.

1. Open the Discord app on your iPhone or Android smartphone. Then, at the bottom-right corner of the screen, swipe right to bring up the server/channel browser, and tap on your profile image.
2. Tap the “Connections” tab on the next page.
