Quick Answer:<\/strong> Spotify Live is a live audio chatroom platform similar to Clubhouse. It is available on Android, iOS, and desktop. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In an effort to offer users more options, Spotify launched a live audio chatroom feature in 2021 called Spotify Live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking to bank on the previous success of Clubhouse, Spotify’s option offers similar features. Previously called Greenroom<\/a>, users can listen to or host live audio chatrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At present, it seems like the Spotify Live app has mostly been forgotten about, but we’ll break down everything you need to know about the service below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Spotify Live? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, Spotify Live is an audio chatroom platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a standalone app for iOS and Android that lets users create live chatrooms around topics that people can join and enter into the discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spotify also struck exclusive programming with its official launch. This includes creators like DJ Akademiks<\/a> and Hasan Minhaj<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spotify Live can be accessed from its standalone app or creators’ pages in the main app. However, because of this, discoverability is much easier in the standalone app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does Spotify Live work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While you can listen to live shows from the main, you’ll have to use the Spotify Live standalone app to interact with the shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means creating a separate account for Spotify Live when you load the app for the first time (you can link to your original Spotify account to make the process easier).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you are in the app, you can search and follow your favorite creators. There are also “Groups” that you can join to find live chats around specific topics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the front page, you’ll find the most popular chatrooms that are live at the moment, as well as a schedule for upcoming live programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can join in on any chat you see by clicking the Join room<\/strong> banner in the chat. Conversely, you can head to Groups<\/strong> to find rooms with specific topics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create your own room, tap the green Create room<\/strong> button on the home page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will have a few decisions to make, such as the topic, whether or not there is a discussion room, and if you want the live room to be recorded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that’s all you need to know about the new Spotify Live app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spotify Live certainly exists <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At present, it doesn’t seem like people have flocked to Spotify’s live audio option. Live audio chatrooms were all the rage during lockdowns, but that popularity has started to drop quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time will tell if Spotify continues to support Spotify Live or if it will eventually be phased out of the streaming giant’s future plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
