How to start a Jam on Spotify
In This Article
Spotify’s Jam feature is a simple way to allow multiple people to have input over an ongoing queue of music. Getting a Jam started isreallyeasy, and we’ve laid out the process below.
Jams work both in-person and virtually, making it possible to listen together whether you’re working in an office, cooking dinner in the same room or even thousands of miles apart in different countries.
It is important to note that at least one Spotify Premium account holder needs to be part of the Jam, as they become the host.
What you’ll need
The Short Version
Pixel 8a for just £374.40
Making it the ultimate go-to upgrade thanks to its limited time price cut, the Pixel 8a is now a bargain buy that’s still packed with all the features you could ever need.
Step1
Open Spotify
We’ll be using the iOS app for our screenshots, but you can follow the same steps on the Android app.
Step2
Tap the devices icon
You can find this in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Step3

You’ll only be able to host a Jam if you’re a Premium subscriber. Spotify Free users can still join Jams but they won’t see the Start A Jam button or be able to host a Jam.

Step5
Choose whether you’re listening remotely or in-person
Then just tap Join.

That’s it! You can now choose and listen to songs together.
Troubleshooting
To start a Jam on the desktop app on your PC, just tap the three-dot button or right-click on any track or playlist. Then click Start A Jam. From here, you can invite people to join your Jam.
To remove a participant from your Jam, just tap the three-dot button next to any person and tap Remove From Jam. You can also remove everyone in one tap by selecting the device you’re listening on and hitting Remove All Participants.
