Music streaming giant Spotify has announced a brand new feature allowing users to listen to music with their friends wherever they are.
The 'Jam' feature lets music lovers listen to and add songs to a shared queue with this being compatible with smart and Bluetooth speakers.
Setting this up is simple and allows friends to connect even when they are not in the same room through the power of music.
How to start a 'Jam' on Spotify as new feature announced
Setting up a Jam with friends is really easy and can be done by following the simple step-by-step guide provided by Spotify.
The streaming platform says that users can tap the device they are playing the music from by selecting the Current Device (stereo icon) next to the song they are playing.
Listeners can also tap the '...' on their favourite public playlist to start the feature.
Once this has been done, users can select Start a Jam before hitting Invite.
Here, users will be able to share a QR code or select Share Link to send the Jam to their friends.
Alternatively, those with Bluetooth enabled will be able to tap their phones together to start.
How to remove someone from a Spotify Jam
To remove someone from a Jam, all users need to do is tap on the Current Device option, select Remove All Participants and hit the '...' next to the participant. Here, they will find a Remove feature.
Those wanting to leave the Jam can do so by selecting Current Device and then hitting Leave Jam.
However, Spotify notes that if the host leaves the Jam, the whole session ends for everyone.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
