My Question or Issue

If I am muting the browser volume, does the stream count

Hey @ales03-07,

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 🙂

Buenas tardes, soy Army y quiero apoyar haciendole streaming a la canción Haegeum del artista AGUST D, pero me preocupa de sobremanera que periódicamente Spotify le este quitando reproducciones. Tenemos una meta como comunidad de llegar al billón de reproducciones en Spotify, pero con esto es imposible lograrlo, al menos en corto plazo. Por favor, quisiera que nos den más detalle de cómo hacer un buen streaming con cuenta Premium. Por favor.
