Is Spotify not showing as your status on Discord?
If you’ve properly linked Spotify to Discord, your status will show that you’re listening to Spotify.
When someone clicks on your profile, it’ll display the current song that you’re playing.
However, a common issue that Discord users face is that the “Listening to Spotify” status is not showing even though they linked their Spotify.
There are a couple of reasons for this.
Firstly, it might be because the user has recently changed their password on Spotify.
If they changed their Spotify password recently, they have to relink it to Discord in order for the status to work again.
Secondly, the user might not have disabled the “Display currently running game as a status message” option.
When the “Display currently running game as a status message” option is enabled, it might be in conflict with the Spotify status.
In this guide, you’ll learn 3 ways to fix your Spotify status on Discord (based on the couple of reasons above).
