Using other apps like YouTube or SoundCloud to play songs is an option. But what’s even better is all of your friends listening to the same song on the server and jamming together. If you want to listen to songs on your discord server with your friends, here’s a step-by-step guide to do it.
How to Play Music in Discord?
There are two ways you can play music in discord channels. One is by adding bots to your Server. When you do this, you can command these bots to play songs according to your choices. And the other option is to connect to Spotify. Here, you can listen to songs on Spotify with your Discord friends.
Step 1: Adding Bots
You can use multiple bots to play music in Discord. Follow the steps below to add and use these bots to play songs on your server.
Soul Music Bot
Soul Music Bot is an easy and famous bot, solely made to play music on your Server’s channel. It works on slash commands and also has its own DJ system. Here’s how you can use them to play music. You can mention many songs at once and add them to the queue. Options like Volume Down, Play Back, Pause, Skip, Volume Up, Shuffle, Queue Off, Track, Stop, Autoplay, and Clear are also available.
Green Bot
Green bot is also one of the best music bots for Discord. This bot lets you listen to high-quality songs. Let’s look through the steps to play a song using this bot on your Server. Options like Previous, Stop, Pause and Skip are available. You can also add songs to your liked songs by pressing the heart button.
MEE6 Bot
MEE6 bot is another famous bot when it comes to playing music in Discord room chats. However, you can only use this feature if you upgrade to premium. You don’t necessarily need to own the Server to play music as long as the bot is already invited to the Server. Even as a member, you can command these bots to play music for you. You can add as many songs as you want with this (/play) slash command. The song gets queued and plays once the previously playing song ends.
Step 2: Connecting to Spotify Account
To connect your Discord to Spotify, you will neither have to join a server’s voice channel nor have to command anyone to play a song for you. You can directly go to Spotify, choose a playlist or the song you want to listen to, and send the link to your friends to listen along with them at the same time. However, to listen along with your friend, you will need a premium subscription. Your friends will only be able to listen to this on two occasions. Their Discord should also have their Discord connected to Spotify and should own Spotify premium. If not, they won’t be able to listen to music on Spotify along with you.
Why Are Groovy Bot and Rythm Bot Not Working?
Groovy Bot and Rythm Bot are no longer in service. These two bots were the most popular bots to play music on Discord. However, about a year ago, both of them were shut down due to copyright claims from YouTube.
