You can now play Spotify directly in Facebook mobile app

Facebook announced the deal with Spotify last week – a project code-named “Boombox” – as part of its larger strategy to embrace social audio. Facebook is separately building its own podcast player and podcast-discovery features into the Facebook app.

The first time you use the player, you’ll see a consent dialogue box asking for permission to link Spotify and Facebook apps . Spotify Premium subscribers can launch full playback from the mini-player to the Spotify app; users of the free, ad-supported version will be able to launch into shuffle mode.

Facebook and Spotify have collaborated previously: In 2019, they launched the ability to include 15-second clips of Spotify songs in Facebook Stories. Separately, Facebook launched thousands of officially licensed music videos on the platform last summer.
