That means a multi-room setup is possible as you can stream to multiple devices in different rooms. Music doesn’t stream from the smartphone to speaker, but instead direct from the Spotify services to the speaker itself, which means your smartphone doesn’t use up any power as it would do if you’re using Bluetooth.Īll you need to do is open the app on mobile, desktop or web player, click on the speaker icon at the bottom of the screen and select the device (or devices) that you want to stream to. The device being used to stream music must be on the same Wi-Fi connection, and if you’re using a mobile device it’ll act as a remote so you can control playback, volume or add other devices to stream to. Spotify Connect allows users to stream music to (as well as control) hardware/devices from the Spotify app, whether that be on mobile or via the desktop and web player. If you’re not too familiar with Spotify Connect, here’s the lowdown on what it is and who the devices that support it. It’s not too dissimilar to Chromecast or AirPlay 2, except it works with an even wider range of devices. Spotify Connect first came online in 2013 to make it easier to stream music to another device. Spotify is one of the biggest music streaming services on the planet, one of those services that feels as if it’s compatible with every platform around, and the Connect feature is one of reasons why it’s so ubiquitous on devices.
