Have you ever wondered how people display what they’re currently listening to on Spotify as their Discord status? Discord makes it unbelievably easy to update others on what you’re doing in real-time, whether that’s listening to music, playing a game, or streaming. The key to all of this is “account linking,” or, as Discord calls it, Connections. If you are a Discord user as well as a Spotify subscriber, you can connect both platforms in seconds. When you do this, you essentially allow other Discord users to see what you’re listening to on Spotify when logged in. Let’s discuss how to connect Spotify to Discord.
