Can I Listen to Spotify with a Friend at the Same Time?

The short answer is: Yes, two people can listen to Spotify simultaneously.  Spotify Group Session is a beta feature for collaborative listening. Groups of two to five people can start listening to a song or a playlist on one device or their own devices in real-time.  While listening to Spotify simultaneously, both host and guests can control the song or the playlist. It works just like any individual session. Host and guests can pause, play, skip, and select tracks to listen together. Anyone can also add songs to the queue in the usual way. Any change will show up on all grouped devices in real-time.

Do You Need Spotify Premium to Share Your Account With Another Person?

Yes, Spotify Group Sessions is a Premium-only feature. Only listeners with a Premium account can be part of the session and control the playback. All users must be on the mobile and tablet apps as it’s not available on the Spotify desktop app or the web player.  As the feature is in Beta, Spotify can modify it at a future date. 

Spotify Blend is available to both Spotify Free and Premium users worldwide.
