Users Can Now Enjoy Spotify Content Within Facebook Through New Mini-Player

Spotify and Facebook announced on Monday the new integration that will allow users to enjoy Spotify content within Facebook through the new mini-player experience without switching between apps.

Spotify free users can now enjoy this same great experience via shuffle mode but ads will be there from Spotify. Spotify Premium users can discover and experience songs and episodes with full playback directly from Spotify inside the Facebook app on iOS and Android.

Here’s how the Spotify mini-player works inside Facebook:

Tap the “Play” button on the song you, your friend, family member, or favorite creator shared from Spotify to their Facebook News Feed.

The first time you’re using the mini-player, you’ll see a consent dialog open—click on “Connect” to continue.

If you’re logged in to Spotify, the apps will automatically switch and playback will start from within the Spotify app. (If you’re not logged in, you will be prompted to do so.)

Spotify keeps playing even if you keep scrolling down your News Feed, but you’ll have control over playback options so you can pause or dismiss the mini-player.
