Spotify Premium subscribers can launch full playback from the mini-player to the Spotify app users of the free, ad-supported version will be able to launch into shuffle mode.Ĭommercial terms of the deal between the two companies aren’t being disclosed. The first time you use the player, you’ll see a consent dialog box asking for permission to link Spotify and Facebook apps (you must click “Connect” to continue). Users also can play songs via the Spotify mini-player experience through verified artists posts as well as user-uploaded videos on Facebook that contain licensed music. It sits at the bottom of the screen, letting you pause or dismiss the mini-player. When you click on a Spotify song or podcast episode shared on Facebook, the new mini-player continues to play back the audio even if you keep scrolling down your Facebook News Feed. Facebook is separately building its own podcast player and podcast-discovery features into the Facebook app. Facebook announced the deal with Spotify last week - a project code-named “Boombox” - as part of its larger strategy to embrace social audio. The feature launches Monday (April 24) in 27 markets, available for Facebook app on iOS and Android. In a tie-up of tech titans, Facebook and Spotify worked together to bake a Spotify “mini-player” into the social giant’s namesake app to let users listen to music and podcasts directly within Facebook’s apps for mobile devices.
