Thanks for reaching out via the Community!

Spotify won’t be able to share the exact info on how streams are counted in order to prevent manipulation, however, what we can say is that on Spotify, a stream counts when someone listens to a track for 30 seconds or more. With this said, playing a song for at least 30 seconds if your browser is muted should count as a stream.

You can also check out this article from the Artists' page for more info.

If you'd like to support your favorite artist, we recommend listening to their tunes in full. That data can be used to improve the recommendations of everyone.

Hope this info helped clear things up and we're here if you've got any other questions 🙂
