Jam Spotify is available to all Spotify users. However, there are differences in how it's accessed:
This feature is compatible with various devices, including smart speakers and most Bluetooth speakers, ensuring a seamless listening experience.
To start a Jam, simply share a link or QR code with your chosen participants. Once they join, you can collaboratively add songs to the shared queue and listen to the same tracks simultaneously.
