If you want to listen to the new Lizzo album or catch up on the latest podcast with your friends and loved ones remotely, you don’t want to put your phone on the speakers. Try creating a Group Session on Spotify. With the ever-evolving feature of Group Session, you are able to listen to music or podcasts simultaneously no matter where you are.

What is Spotify Group Session?

This is a Spotify feature designed for users around the world to tune in to the same playlist or podcasts simultaneously no matter where you are located. Up to 7 users can join the group session via the invite link. This feature is currently available for Spotify Premium users. The users in the group session can pause, play, skip and queue music. Once a session is started, all the linked devices will play the same track that the other device is playing.

Here’s how to set up your Group Session with ease.
