Spotify has become the go-to music streaming service for millions of people around the globe. It offers free and paid subscriptions, allowing you to listen to thousands of songs without spending a dime.

Discord is an online chat app that’s popular among gamers, but it can be used by anyone who wants to communicate with friends or colleagues. It’s easy to use and free to download. 

These two apps are great on their own, but did you know you could connect them together?

Combining these two apps together will allow you to play your favorite songs while chatting with your teammates. 

This article will be providing you with instructions on how you can connect your Spotify account to your Discord account!

Discord And Spotify

Spotify is one of the most popular ways to stream your favorite music. You can listen for free, or with a subscription. If you want to personalize your listening, Spotify also allows you to create playlists and share them with others.

You can also pay to get access to more features, such as downloading songs offline, and sharing tracks with other users.

If you’re looking for a way to stay connected while gaming, then you can connect your Spotify account to your Discord account.    

Connecting these two apps together will allow you to easily switch between playing games and listening to your favorite tunes. You can also share your playlists with your friends and family, so they can enjoy them too.
