How to play multiple streams on different devices

[user-removed]

Plan

Individual Premium

Country USA

Device

(iPhone 8, Samsung Galaxy 9, Macbook Pro late 2016)

Operating System

(iOS 10, Android Oreo, Windows 10,etc.)

My Question or Issue: I have an individual premium plan.  My wife uses the account as well.  How can I listen to 2 different streams on different devices at the same time.  I was in my car and I could see that she was playing music at home on our Alexa device.  How can I play music in my car if she wants to play other music at home??

Hey @user-removed ,

Thanks for coming to the Community.

Unfortunately, you can only play on one device at a time, per account. This means that your wife must create her own account if she'd like to listen to music on Spotify at the same time as you.

Hope this helps 🙂

Hi there @user-removed,

Thanks for reaching out to the Community and welcome!

Keep in mind that according to our Terms and Conditions, Spotify is for personal use only. This means that it's not possible to stream on multiple devices at the same time with one account.

In this case, your wife should create her own account, and we suggest taking a look at our other subscriptions, like Premium Duo, which is for two people living at the same address, or Premium Family, which is for up to six people who live together.

With those subscriptions, all the members can enjoy the benefits of a Premium subscription at a discounted price with their own personal accounts. You can find more info about Premium Duo here and Premium Family here.

If you have any questions, the Community is here for you.

Cheers!

Even with family edition you cannot stream multiples devices link to one account.

With big family all have phone.  Sonos and google home I cannot have it work perfectly.  I switch to amazon prime premium how has better multi device / account concurency management.

I ended up having Tidal and Spotify because my Spotify account is linked with our Echo Dot at home, then when my son asks Alexa to play Bob Sponge soundtrack, my streaming stops... hopefully someday Spotify will offer a better solution for this corner case.
