Spotify with Android 13 releases all its experience for certain actions that allow anyone to control the speaker to which the mobile is connected. It is any close friend will be able to queue songs and control what’s playing on the speaker. And not only that, but even those who are not at home can also contribute to add a theme.
Spotify Connect lets you switch between speakers around the house. Just click on the speaker icon at the bottom of Spotify and you’ll be taken to a screen that shows all the available devices where you can play the playlist or song you want. It’s all due to collaboration with Google for Android 13
The most interesting experience is the possibility of invite close friends to queue songs and control what’s playing on the speaker. In other words, you have a smart speaker at a party or a meeting and when you listen to a playlist or music on Spotify connected to it, you can add friends who will have the ability to add music. An experience that musically enriches meetings and parties because all participants can add songs to the list in real time.
The way to do this is quite simple. Spotify opens and a smart speaker is connected (this step is essential), a playlist or song is played and the speaker icon at the bottom of the screen is clicked. At the very top is the current speaker connection and the option, enabled by default, that allows multiple people to join and control that speaker.
There is a button just below this option, the ‘invite’ button. Pressing it, we go to another screen in which a QR code is displayed or the option to share as a link. If you are with several friends at a party, just show them the QR code so that they can scan it with their mobiles and then go directly to the control of the smart speaker in the Spotify session to add songs in the queue. The other option is to forward the link to a WhatsApp group (or another app) so that anyone can click on it and thus access this group playlist created in real time.
The interesting part of this experiment is that It is not limited to those under the same local WiFi network, because anyone can be added via this link. In other words, you can study remotely to share a playlist with a friend so that between them they can add songs which will be played through the smart speaker. The only thing you have to do is search for songs and add them to the queue so they can be played.
Of course, this option is only available when connecting Spotify to a smart speaker. In other words, if we disconnect Bluetooth and try to play the music on the speakers of the PC where we have Spotify, this option to control the speaker by several people will not appear. A great experience that Spotify offers for this summer and thus among many enrich these music lists that will sound in the best gatherings among friends.
