Spotify adds shared volume control for group listening

Spotify introduces volume control for its Group Session so members can participate in their collaborative playlist

Spotify has improved its Group Session feature by launching shared volume control that would let listeners in groups adjust the volume of a song when sharing a compatible speaker with the host.

The Group Session feature is only available for Premium subscribers, allowing multiple users to control what music is playing in real-time and add songs to a collaborative playlist.

The volume addition is only enabled when fewer than four members are in one group session, but hosts can enable the feature manually when they are more members.

The volume feature is slowly being rolled out to Android and iOS users globally, available on Chromecast, Amazon Cast, and most WiFi-enabled speakers. Apple AirPlay and Bluetooth devices will not currently support volume control, the company said.
