Discord and Spotify are two popular platforms that allow users to enjoy music and connect with friends and fellow music enthusiasts. Integrating Spotify with Discord can enhance your music listening experience, allowing you to share what you're listening to with your Discord friends and even control Spotify playback from within the Discord app. However, many users have reported that their Spotify status is not showing on Discord, which can be quite frustrating. If you're facing the same issue, you've come to the right place! In this article, we'll go through a comprehensive guide on how to fix the Spotify status not showing on Discord.

Relink Spotify Connection in Discord

Make sure that both Spotify and the Discord application are running on your PC. The easiest way to fix this problem is to re-link your Spotify account to Discord. To do so, navigate to your Discord User Settings. You should see the connection to your Spotify account in the Connections section.

Unlink your Spotify account by clicking on the X. Next, restart your Discord application and head back to your Discord User Settings. You can then reconnect your Spotify account in the Connections section. Simply click on the Spotify icon and connect it to your account.

Discord Activity Privacy Settings

If your Spotify status is still not showing up, or if it’s showing the wrong status, then head over to your Activity Privacy settings. Here, disable the Display current activity as a status message option. Make sure that no other game or application is running on your PC which could show up as your Discord status and re-enable this option.
