[Connect] [Kids] Add Spotify Connect support for Spotify Kids

When playing music through Spotify Kids, it is not possible to cast the music to a Google Chromecast audio device. This has lead to many conversations revolving around “but why can’t I put my dance party on the stereo”, and so we have to go back to the main Spotify app to get said dance party going and avert the tears 😀And with the kids stuck at home on account of school closures and lockdowns, there are a lot of dance parties happening. And they much prefer the app geared towards them than the regular app. Because the Spotify Connect feature is already implemented in the main Spotify app, it should be implemented also in the Spotify Kids app to have the same connectivity options.

The Spotify Kids App is a great tool - for phones or tablets only that I can see. I want the ability to play music from the TV limited to just the content I have restricted for my kid accounts. Using the TV cuts out apps, games, etc from the iPad or tablet. But as it currently stands, the Spotify Kids app isn't available for download. It's already a pain enough that I have to create a playlist and share it for songs I do approve, but to add the app with the separate account onto the TV I would have to have a standard account with no restrictions available. 

 

If anyone has found a way around this I am all ears!

Implement an application on the Roku system or design the Spotify application like the YouTube application on Roku so that you can access YouTube kids profiles without having to use another application

Seriously need Spotify Kids to be able to connect to Amazon Alexa - anyone playing music in our house immediately grabs my Spotify and even though we have a family account with 4 profiles, all of it goes through mine. It's insane that no one else can play music the way they want off of the 5 different Alexa's we have in the house.

  • I paid extra for a family account and it doesn't work on the kids alexa. This seems really silly that this is not an option.

Hello 

I am requesting an  Alexa/Spotify kids feature to be implemented.

 

I have already spoken with the Amazon/Alexa team they sent a request over in December and again on May 27th. 

 

my autistic child LOVES to listen to her Disney stories from the kid's Spotify app along with her kid's safe playlist. However, it's limited to car rides as we can not link her Spotify kids to her Disney Echo Pop or her Fire tablet. 

 

Please think of not only the parents of special needs but all parents who would like their children to listen to kid-appropriate music via their Alexa devices 

 

I look forward to this being implemented soon. Thank you.

Can we fix this already???? Why has it been years and nothing is done?

Any updates?  It’s been 3 years since this was confirmed to be looked at.  With your Spotify Kids app wouldn’t you just need Amazon to add that app to their store to enable this functionality?

After getting no response from Spotify for a long time I shifted to YouTube Music. In addition you get YouTube ad free and the ability to download. Haven't looked back. Not found anything I can't get elsewhere.

It is slightly more expensive but I have my playlists back from the grips of Baby Shark.

We pay for a family account. I need to be able to assign profiles to each echo device so everyone can listen at the same time.

Seems like the idea of being able to link a Spotify kids account to Alexa has been around for years. Any update? Thanks.
