As we all know Spotify is the largest streaming service in the world. It is pretty convenient that we can integrate Spotify on Discord. We don’t even have to open two different applications for that. Once we connected to Discord we can show other users what we are listening to. On the other hand, you can link other apps as well on Discord such as Youtube, Twitch, and Reddit.
But most of the time users had faced that Discord doesn’t show “Listening to Spotify” status. And that’s what we are here for. I’ll be sharing some of the methods to resolve this issue.
Method 1: Connect Spotify to Discord
Here’s how you can properly connect your Spotify account to discord so you can show on Discord what music you’re listening to. So this is very easy and very simple.
First, go into discord, and then you need to head over to user settings which is in the bottom left hand corner.
Once you’ve done that you need to go to connections and you’ll see a list of different accounts that you can connect to your discord profile.
All you need to do is look for the Spotify logo and then click on Spotify. It will open up a web browser and it’s going to connect your discord account with your Spotify account. Now you’ll see your Spotify account connected to discord.
You can go back to Discord and you’ll see your Spotify account. It’ll now display your Spotify as your status and if you want Spotify to be shown on your discord profile you can enable this.
