It can be frustrating when you want to share your favorite songs or playlists with your friends, but the connection between Spotify and Discord isn’t working. Don’t worry, though, because I’ve got some simple steps that will help you fix it.

First, let’s make sure we’ve covered the basics. Have you linked your Spotify account to Discord? If not, don’t worry – it’s easy to do. Just follow these steps:

Restart Your Device

Before diving into troubleshooting steps, try restarting your PC or phone. Sometimes, a simple restart can help fix any connection issues between Spotify and Discord. If the problem continues and Spotify still isn’t showing up as your status in Discord, then there might be a current bug that the developers haven’t addressed yet.

So, make sure you’re running the latest version of Spotify and Discord. If you’re using the browser app to access Discord, make sure you’re also using the newest version.
