[Desktop][Social] Enable Group Session on Desktop

[brooks29]

Group Session was recently added to Spotify and it seems like a wonderful feature so far. Unfortunately, it is only available on mobile and tablet so those of us who primarily use the desktop app cannot use it. Please include desktop users in the party!

I greatly prefer the experience and UI on the desktop app and I believe it is better suited for adding songs to a queue (as you do in group session).

Why does this idea still have the status of "New idea" when it has almost 800 votes? Shouldn't it be at least under consideration?

99% of the time I'm using it on a desktop. Please.

Blows my mind that this isn't a feature on desktop. If mobile can do it, why can't we do it on desktop? Much needed, please add, love you devs and please keep giving us the tools we need to make playing and sharing music easier!

It blows my mind how this is over a year old thread with 1k+ upvotes and nothing is being done about it.

Like being a few year subsriber to Spotify it is just so dissapointing.

Maybe soon it is time to look for better alternatives... Not much good comming with such attitude and lack of care for their customers.

In my opinion, there should be an option to start a group session on the computer. Now there already is a way around this by starting it on mobile and go to devices and use other device to listen on. But it should be much easier by just making it possible to start it on pc. Now that discord-music-bots are gone, this would made a lot of the Spotify Premium members on pc happy.

This is a good idea, I like it! 😀

Soo... Wheres the ETA/update on this?

I agree that this should have been implemented a while ago. Especially with remote work being the only option for myriads globally, it only makes sense that group sessions exist on PC.
