How to disconnect Spotify from Discord
To disconnect Spotify from Discord, you need to disconnect it from your connections.
Alternatively, you can disable the “Display Spotify as your status” option to prevent Discord from displaying what you’re listening on Spotify as your status.
Disconnecting Spotify from your connections will stop Spotify from displaying on your profile and on your status.
So if you don’t want Spotify to be displayed on your profile and on your status, you can disconnect it from your connections.
On the other hand, if you’re looking to temporarily prevent Spotify from displaying as your status, you can disable the “Display Spotify as your status” option instead.
Disabling the “Display Spotify as your status” option prevents Discord from displaying what you’re listening to on Spotify as your status.
If you don’t want to disconnect Spotify from Discord, you can disable the “Display Spotify as your status” option.
Anyhow, below is a step-by-step guide on how you can disconnect Spotify from Discord.
Step 1: Navigate to User Settings
Open Discord on a desktop/mobile device > your profile > User Settings.
The first step is to navigate to your user settings on Discord.
To begin with, open Discord on a desktop or on mobile.
You can use either a desktop or a mobile device for this as the “Connections” setting is available on both versions of Discord.
However, keep in mind that the screenshots in this article are taken on the desktop version on Discord and not the mobile version.
So if you’re using Discord on a mobile device, the user interface is a little different from the screenshots.
Once you’ve opened Discord on a desktop, navigate to your profile.
Your profile can be found on the bottom of a server’s sidebar.
On your profile, you’ll see three icons—a microphone, headphones, and a gear.
Click on the gear icon to go to your user settings.
If you’re using Discord on a mobile device, you can navigate to your user settings by tapping on your profile picture on the bottom navigation bar.
Proceed to the next step to learn how to go to the “Connections” setting.
Step 2: Go to Connections
User Settings > Connections.
After you’ve clicked on the gear icon (on the Desktop version of Discord), you’ll land on the “My Account” settings.
Under “User Settings”, you’ll see multiple tabs—My Account, Privacy & Safety, Authorized Apps, and Connections.
If you’re using the mobile version of Discord, you’ll see the “Account”, “Privacy & Safety”, “Connections”, and “Scan QR Code” tabs instead.
“My Account” allows you to edit your account settings such as your username, email, and phone number.
You can change your direct messaging safety settings, server privacy defaults, who can add you as a friend, and more on “Privacy & Safety”.
“Authorized Apps” shows all of the apps that you’ve authorized with Discord.
Lastly, the “Connections” tab shows all of your Discord connections (e.g., Spotify, Twitch).
To view your connections, click on the “Connections” tab.
Proceed to the final step to learn how to disconnect Spotify from Discord.
Step 3: Click on the “X” icon
Connections > Spotify > “X” icon > Disconnect.
After you’ve clicked on the “Connections” tab, you’ll land on the connections page.
On the connections page, you’ll see all of your active connections.
For example, if you’ve connected Twitch with Discord, you’ll see a Twitch tab.
If you’ve connected Spotify with Discord in the past, you’ll see a Spotify tab.
On the Spotify tab, you’ll see two options—Display on profile and Display Spotify as your status.
On the top of the tab, you’ll see an “X” icon.
To disconnect Spotify, tap on the “X” icon on the top of the Spotify tab.
Then, click on the “Disconnect” button to confirm that you want to disconnect Spotify.
After you’ve tapped on the “Disconnect” button, Spotify will be disconnected from Discord.
If you want to stop Spotify from showing as your status, you can disable the “Display Spotify as your status” option instead.
These steps are similar to both the desktop and the mobile version of Discord.
Congrats, you’ve successfully disconnected Spotify from Discord!
How do you delete a connection on Discord?
To delete a connection on the desktop version of Discord, you need to navigate to your user settings.
On the left sidebar, click on “Connections”, click on the “X” icon on the connection that you want to delete, and tap on “Disconnect”.
To delete a connection on the mobile version of Discord, you need to first tap on your profile picture on the bottom navigation bar.
Lastly, tap on “Connections”, then click on the “X” icon on the connection that you want to delete, and tap on “Disconnect”.
Can you see your own Spotify status on Discord?
Yes, you can see your own Spotify status on both the desktop and the mobile version of Discord.
You can see your own Spotify status on Discord by viewing your profile on the member list of a server that you’ve joined.
If you’re listening to a song on Spotify, your Discord status will be displayed as “Listening to Spotify”.
If you click on your profile, it’ll show the specific song that you’re listening to.
Conclusion
Connecting your Spotify account with Discord is a must if you want to display the song that you’re listening to as your status.
However, if you don’t want people to know that you’re listening to Spotify, you can either disconnect it from Discord or disable the “Display Spotify as your status” option.
Either way, your friends won’t be able to know that you’re listening to Spotify anymore.
Still can’t unlink Spotify from Discord even after following the guide?
Some people have trouble disconnecting Spotify from Discord.
If you can’t Disconnect Spotify from Discord, try closing Spotify from the task manager first and press the Ctrl + R keys before you hit the “X” icon.
