To start using the functionality, navigate to Spotify&#8217;s play screen, and tap the Connect icon on the bottom left of the interface &#8212; it&#8217;s the same part of the app you use to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2018-11-07-spotify-connect-streaming-free.html\" data-rapid_p=\"2\" data-v9y=\"1\">stream your music to a smart speaker<\/a>&nbsp;or another device. You&#8217;ll then be able to share a code other people in your space can scan to join the listening session. Once everyone has joined, you will all have joint control over what&#8217;s playing, including the ability to queue songs. What&#8217;s more, anytime someone makes a tweak, you&rsquo;ll see it reflected on your device.<\/p>\n<p>The two or more Premium limitation means you won&rsquo;t be able to take advantage of this feature if you&rsquo;re sharing a single account with someone. When things return to normal, Group Sessions will likely get a lot of use at house parties. In the meantime, it will appeal most to people with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2019\/08\/19\/spotify-premium-family-swearing-filter\/\" data-rapid_p=\"3\" data-v9y=\"1\">Family<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2019-09-04-spotify-premium-duo-expands-14-countries.html\" data-rapid_p=\"4\" data-v9y=\"1\">Duo<\/a>&nbsp;accounts &mdash; provided they don&#8217;t abuse the ability to skip songs, of course. Spotify says this is just the start of its plans for Group Sessions, with more planned for the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/tag\/spotify\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/tag\/spotify\/<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Igor Bonifacic<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Igor Bonifacic<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&rsquo;s no way this feature will lead to arguments, right? &nbsp; Spotify&nbsp;has started beta testing a nifty new feature called Group Sessions that allows two or more Premium users under the same roof to share playback control with one another.
