Your friends will be able to see the song or playlist title, album artwork, and a link to listen to the music on Spotify. If they have a premium Spotify account, they can click the link to listen to the full track within Discord.
Customizing Spotify Status on Discord
Once you’ve linked your Spotify and Discord accounts, you can also customize your status on Discord to show what you’re listening to on Spotify. Here’s how:
- Open the Discord app or website and log in to your account.
- Click on your profile picture in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen to open your user settings.
- Click on “Set a custom status” at the top of the user settings menu.

- Discord will automatically detect that you’re listening to Spotify and display the song or playlist title, album artwork, and a link to listen to the music.
- You can also add an emoji or message to your status by typing in the message box.
- Click “Save” to set your custom status and show your friends what you’re listening to on Spotify.
Your custom status will appear next to your username on Discord, and your friends will be able to see the song or playlist title, album artwork, and a link to listen to the music on Spotify.
Troubleshooting Spotify-Discord Connection Issues
If you’re having trouble connecting Spotify to Discord, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
- Make sure you’re using the latest version of both the Spotify app and Discord.
- Check that you’re logged in to the correct Spotify account. If you have multiple accounts, make sure you’re using the one you linked to Discord.
- Try logging out of both Spotify and Discord and then logging back in again.
- Make sure you’ve given Discord permission to access your Spotify account. You can check this by going to the “Connections” tab in Discord’s user settings and looking for the Spotify icon.
- If you’re still having issues, try unlinking and relinking your Spotify account in Discord.
- If none of these steps work, you may want to contact Spotify or Discord support for further assistance.
Keep in mind that you’ll need a premium Spotify account to listen to full tracks on Discord. If you’re using a free Spotify account, you’ll only be able to share song titles and album names.
