Playing music during your live streams while playing a casual game, or while chatting with your viewers or party members, can be a great way to connect with your viewers. However, not everyone will have the same fine musical tastes as you, and will want to know what song you’re playing

Sometimes Spotify is hiding, or you don’t have time to look at chat and respond each time someone asks. If that sounds like your stream, here is a widget that will allow you to display your music on-screen whenever a song is playing, which is a nice addition to any stream that plays Spotify music (be aware of copyright issues though–you don’t want a DMCA takedown notice, but that’s a longer discussion for another day).

Widget Download For Vista

Spotify has made it very hard to pull from your now playing list. You could try to keep it open on another monitor with a small capture window in OBS, but that is unwieldy and prone to capturing screen-space that you don’t want displayed.

Someone from the streaming community has made a widget that helps solve these problems. His name is Aidenwallis, and he has a Patreon that you can donate to if you enjoy his tool and would like to support a small widget developer.

Without further ado, let’s get started.

First, you need to navigate to this website. You will be greeted by this page:

Login with Spotify, enter your information, and once you’re logged in you will see the next page:

Click on the “get a now playing widget for you stream “here” button (highlighted in red). You will be sent to a new page in a new window:

Spotify App Download For Windows

Add your “user ID” from the prior page to the box on this page, and click enter. You will get a grey popup box that will include a URL. This is the information that needs to be entered into Open Broadcaster Software.

Next, open OBS, click on the Add a new Source, and choose Browser Source:

Finally, enter in the URL in the URL box on the popup screen, change the Width of the Source to 350, and Height to 100, and save the new Source.

Congrats! You can now drag your new Spotify Now Playing widget to anywhere on your Scene. The information will only appear on the screen if you are currently playing a song, and will conveniently disappear when you quit listening.

Congratulations, you now have set up the Spotify now playing widget to your stream! Enjoy your new tool, and be sure to share *GOOD* music with all your viewers.
