how to get spotify in discord server and how to use it
To get Spotify in a Discord server, the usual method is to link your Spotify account to Discord in User Settings → Connections → Spotify , then share your listening status or stream Spotify inside a voice channel by screen sharing. Discord’s own support says you can connect Spotify from the Discord app’s Connections menu, and Spotify’s support confirms the same setup flow.
How to connect Spotify
- Open the Discord app.
- Click the gear icon near your profile to open settings.
- Go to Connections.
- Click Spotify and sign in to your Spotify account.
- Approve the connection and choose whether to show your Spotify status on your profile.
How to use it in a server
- Show what you’re listening to: once connected, Discord can display your current Spotify track on your profile/status while you listen.
- Listen together in a voice channel: join a voice channel, start playing Spotify, then use Discord screen sharing and make sure share stream audio is enabled so others can hear it.
- Use a music bot if you want server playback commands: some guides mention bots that can join a voice channel and play music, but that is separate from the built-in Spotify connection.
Important limits
Discord’s Spotify integration is mainly for showing listening activity and sharing audio through screen share; it is not the same as directly running Spotify as a native server music player. Some third-party tutorials suggest bot-based playback, but that depends on the bot and its current support, so results can vary.
Fast setup
- Connect Spotify in Discord settings.
- Join a voice channel in your server.
- Start Spotify and share your screen if you want others to hear it.
- Turn on stream audio before going live.
TL;DR: link Spotify in Discord’s Connections, then use screen share in a voice channel to listen together; Discord will also show your Spotify activity on your profile.
