Spotify adds shared volume control to its group listening feature

Spotify attempts to improve its shared-queue feature, Group Session, by launching shared volume control, a new capability that lets listeners adjust the volume of a song if they’re sharing a compatible speaker with the host, the company announced today. Group Session is a Premium-only feature that was first introduced in 2020. Spotify notes that if four or more users are in one group session, volume control will be automatically disabled. But it’s also possible for the host to enable volume control after it’s disabled by manually switching on the toggle that says, “Let guests change volume.”The new shared volume control feature is gradually rolling out to Android and iOS devices globally. However, shared volume control is currently not supported on Apple AirPlay or Bluetooth devices.
