Fix Spotify Not Showing as Your Discord Status
Source-checked About 10 minutes
Answer
Reconnect Spotify under Discord Connections, enable Display Spotify as your status, play music on an active Spotify device, and stop a detected game from taking status priority.
Reconnect the account
Open Discord User Settings > Connections, remove the Spotify connection, then connect the correct Spotify account again.
Enable both display controls
Turn on Display on Profile and Display Spotify as your status.
Start playback on a device
Open Spotify, select an active playback device, and play a song. Paused or private sessions may not appear.
Check competing activity
A game detected by Discord can take precedence over Spotify. Close the game or review Activity Privacy while testing.
Correct time and app state
Set system time automatically, update both apps, and restart them. Discord notes that an incorrect clock can cause connection delays.
