Cool Things You Can Do Now That You're Connected

Okay, so you've successfully connected Spotify to Discord. Now what? Here are some awesome things you can do:

Show Off What You're Listening To

Once connected, Discord will automatically display what you're currently listening to on Spotify as your status. Your friends will see the song title and artist right below your username. It's a subtle but effective way to share your musical vibes.

Listen Along with Friends

This is where things get really fun! If a friend is listening to Spotify on Discord, you can click on their status and choose the "Listen Along" option. This will start playing the same song on your Spotify account, allowing you to enjoy the music together in real-time. It’s amazing for virtual listening parties!

Invite Friends to Listen

Conversely, you can also invite your friends to listen to what you're currently playing. Simply click the plus (+) icon in your text channel, select "Invite to Listen to Spotify," and choose the friends you want to invite. They'll receive an invitation that they can accept to join your listening session.

Spotify Codes

Discord also supports Spotify Codes. These are scannable codes that link directly to songs, albums, or playlists on Spotify. You can share Spotify Codes with your friends on Discord, and they can scan the code using the Spotify app to instantly access the linked content. It’s a super quick and easy way to share music recommendations.

Privacy Considerations

Before you go wild sharing your music, it's worth considering a few privacy aspects:

• What You Share is Public (to Your Friends): Keep in mind that anything you're listening to on Spotify will be visible to your Discord friends. If you're listening to something you'd rather keep private, you might want to disconnect Spotify temporarily.
• Data Sharing: By connecting Spotify to Discord, you're essentially allowing the two platforms to share some data with each other. Make sure you're comfortable with the data sharing policies of both Spotify and Discord before connecting your accounts.

Disconnecting Spotify from Discord

If you ever decide you want to disconnect Spotify from Discord, it's just as easy as connecting it:

1. Go to User Settings: Follow the same steps as above to access your User Settings in Discord.
2. Find Connections: Click on the "Connections" tab.
3. Disconnect Spotify: Find the Spotify icon under the "Connected Accounts" section and click the "X" or "Disconnect" button next to it.
4. Confirm Disconnection: A confirmation window will pop up. Click "Disconnect" to confirm.

And that's it! Spotify is no longer connected to your Discord account.
