All smart speakers that work with Spotify Connect

Basically, you will need a mobile phone, laptop or tablet that has Spotify installed with your account. You must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network than the speaker compatible with Spotify Connect.

On the other hand, Spotify Connect was also an exclusive feature for accounts premium from Spotify. However, this limitation is disappearing, so on most devices you will be able to use this feature with Spotify Free as long as you have the Spotify app updated to its latest version.

To play songs through Spotify Connect, you’ll need to tap on the ‘Devices’ menu in your Spotify app and switch the output to the corresponding compatible speaker.

How is music playback controlled?

The easiest way of all is to use the same source that you have used to send the songs as a remote control. If you used your iPhone, you will be able to change songs, pause or continue playback without any problem from your mobile.

On the other hand, you can also do it by voice commands. To do so, you need to add the Spotify service to Alexa or Google Home. Once you have it, you can speak to the assistant to request music that will be played on the smart speaker of your choice.
