Can you listen to Spotify with Friends? Well, yes, you can. However, you must be a Premium subscriber to launch a group session to listen to music with your friends. To do this, start listening to something on Spotify’s mobile app, then tap the Spotify Connect button. Choose Begin a remote group session. You will be able to share the link that comes up with up to seven people after tapping Invite Friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But let’s go into this in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Exactly Is A Spotify Group Session?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t want to watch a video streaming service virtually with your friends, Spotify has you covered. Group Sessions, a feature of the popular music streaming platform, allows up to five Spotify Premium users to join a virtual listening party. When you’re connected, you and your friends can listen to any song or podcast on Spotify simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May 2020, Spotify launched the Group Sessions feature. At first, only Premium users in the same location could listen together, but Spotify later expanded it to allow global connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spotify Group Session is currently only available to Spotify Premium subscribers and only on Spotify’s mobile app for phones and tablets. On Spotify’s desktop apps, there is currently no option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do Spotify Group Sessions Work?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spotify group sessions enable users to listen to the same music in real-time. Everyone involved has complete control over what happens and can leave whenever they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a great feature, but there are some important limitations. For starters, it’s limited to eight people, which is usually more than enough but puts a damper on silent raves. More importantly, it’s only available to Spotify Premium subscribers\u2014and only from an Android or iOS device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
