When using Spotify alongside Discord, it can be frustrating to have your music pause every time you join a voice channel or receive a notification. The automatic pausing feature is designed to ensure that important audio takes priority, but it can disrupt your listening experience.
To turn off Spotify’s auto pause feature on Discord, follow these steps:
1. Open Discord on your computer or mobile device and navigate to the User Settings by clicking on the gear icon in the bottom left corner of the screen.
2. In the User Settings menu, select the “Connections” tab located on the left-hand side.
3. Scroll down until you find the Spotify icon under the “Connections” section and click on the “Connect” button.
4. A new window will open prompting you to log in to your Spotify account. Enter your login details and authorize Discord to access your Spotify account.
5. Once you have successfully connected your Spotify account to Discord, you will see it listed under the “Connections” section with a green dot next to it.
6. Click on the green Spotify icon to access the settings for the integration.
7. In the Spotify integration settings, locate the toggle switch for “Listen Along.” By default, this feature is enabled and may be causing Spotify to auto pause when using Discord.
8. Disable the “Listen Along” toggle switch to prevent Discord from automatically pausing Spotify when you join voice channels or receive notifications.
9. You can also adjust other settings within the Spotify integration menu to customize how Discord interacts with your Spotify account.
By following these steps, you can effectively turn off the Spotify auto pause feature on Discord and enjoy uninterrupted music playback while using the platform for communication and collaboration.
