If you’re excited to get your Spotify and Discord accounts connected, but aren’t sure how to do it, we’ve put together a quick guide to help you with that, plus some extra tips on how to use Spotify inside of Discord once your accounts are linked. Check it out below.

Spotify Discord Update Features
Profile Feature - Your Spotify information will now appear on both your mini and full profile.
Share Songs And Listen With Friends - Spotify Premium members can "Listen Along" with other Premium members to songs or playlists directly within their Discord server. Music timing is synced so everyone hears the same thing at the same time. Even if you don’t have a Premium Spotify account you can still enjoy the new update as it allows non-premium members to display a “currently listening to” track in their Discord profile. This allows friends viewing your profile to check out the songs your listening to by clicking the "Play on Spotify" button.
How To Invite Friends To Listen To Spotify With You On Discord (Premium Account Required)

You can now send an invite for friends to listen with you. The invite comes with the option to craft your own message before sending.
If friends are listening along, you can see how many in the bottom left-hand corner of the app.
