Discord has outgrown its origin story which purports to be the in-game communications and exploded into a mainstream that allows communities to grow and stay in touch around all sorts of topics from the world of gaming and beyond. With ceaseless effort catering to all sorts of audiences, the company has enabled a social hub where users can dive into not only the tools focused on communications services but also the ability to integrate other media services into their chat sessions, like music, which means you can play music in Discord. And here we have pieced together a complete tutorial explaining how to play music on Discord with Discord bot/mic and on Discord mobile.
How to Play Music on Discord
1. How to play music on Discord bot
Discord bots are pre-programmed deputies that help automate various tasks on your server. They provide moderation tools, assign roles, offer a leveling system, and also play music. Discord music bot is one of the most sought-after Discord bot varieties as it allows users to stream music in the background during the chats, a great option to fill up empty spaces in your voice channel.
Although YouTube has forced the two popular Discord music bots – Groovy and Rhythm — offline in September 2021, you can still find other reputable music bots for your Discord server like:
- Ear Tensifier
- Minerea
- ChillBot
- Fredboat
- ...
How to play music in Discord through a music bot:
Take Fredboat, for example:
Step 1. Go to the FredBoat bot page and invite it to your Discord server.
Step 2. Choose the server to which you wish to add the bot by logging in using your Discord account, press 'Authorize', and check the 'I am not a robot' box.
Step 3. Once the bot is added on your server, you type in the command required to set it running. For example, type '/play (song name)' to tell the FredBoat bot which song you would like to play.
2. How to play music on Discord through mic
On top of using a bot, you can also play music on Discord through a connected mic:
Step 1. Head to the 'Control Panel'.
Step 2. Find 'Hardware & Sound' > Manage Audio Devices.'.
Step 3. Select the 'Recording' option, enable 'Stereo Mix', and switch the settings to the default mic.
Step 4. Go to Discord > Settings > Voice & Video to check the input and output device along with other volume settings to play music on Discord through the mic.
The option is not the most ideal if you are after a lossless audio quality during a chat (depending on your gear though), but it can also work in a pinch if you need to play recorded audio of your own.
3. How to play music on Discord through Spotify
Another alternative to playing music on discord without a bot is to link your Discord account to Spotify.
Step 1. Open your Discord > Settings.
Step 2. Find Connections > Spotify.
Step 3. Log in to your Spotify account, and click on 'Agree' in the pop-up window.
Once the integration is complete, you can stream your Spotify music within your Discord app.

Step 2. Press the 'Invite To Server' button > Choose the server you wish to add the bot to > Continue.
Step 3. Tap on the 'Authorize' button to grant permission to the Freboat bot, and fill in the given captcha box.
