Roblox is a gaming platform that allows users to play a wide variety of games and create games through Roblox Studio. It is free to download and most games on the platform are free to play. Roblox is an excellent way to make friends and explore video game programming, and you can even find some cool functions, such as playing music.

Spotify, the most popular music streaming service nowadays, is also the first music streaming platform to join Roblox. Roblox teamed up with Spotify to create a game called Spotify Island that incorporates Spotify music into the gameplay. Even with the Spotify Roblox integration, some new gamers still have no idea how to listen to Spotify music while playing Roblox. This article will introduce different approaches to help you play Spotify music while playing Roblox to deliver a seamless gaming experience.

It is important to note that Roblox doesn't natively support Spotify music within its system. Instead, the Spotify Roblox integration allows you to play music from the Spotify app on the Roblox game platform. This means you'll need to have both the Roblox and Spotify apps open simultaneously. Below are the step-by-step instructions for listening to Spotify music while playing Roblox.

1.1 Official Way to Play Spotify While Playing Roblox

The official way to listen to Spotify music while playing Roblox is to join Spotify Island. To get Spotify Island, you have to follow a couple of steps.

Step 1. Open Roblox and log in to your account.

Step 2. Type the "Spotify Island" in the Roblox search bar.

Step 3. Click on the game's thumbnail or title to open its page. Alternatively, you can visit the Spotify Island link through the browser.

Step 4. As soon as you enter Spotify Island, you'll see a "Play" button in the upper right corner of your screen that will allow you to play or pause Spotify music as you please. The Spotify app will continue running in the background, allowing you to keep listening to music while playing Roblox.

1.2 Start to Play Spotify Music Using Earbuds with Built-in Controls

To prevent Spotify from automatically pausing while playing Roblox, a practical solution is to use earbuds with built-in controls. This includes both wired and wireless earbuds such as Galaxy Pro Buds, AirPods, or wired Apple earbuds. This method is compatible with both iOS and Android devices. Here's how you can control your Spotify with earbuds when playing Roblox:

Step 1. Connect your earbuds to your iOS or Android device.

Step 2. Open Spotify on your device and select a song or playlist to play.

Step 3. Launch Roblox and select a game. Tap the "Play" button to enter the game. As the game loads, Spotify will automatically pause. At this point, press the "Play/Pause" button on your earbuds to resume playing on Spotify.

1.3 Listen to Spotify While Playing Roblox on Discord

If you have Discord on your phone, get a music bot and listen to music in a voice channel while playing Roblox. Here's how:

Step 1. Download and install the Discord app on your iPhone or Android device.

Step 2. Create your own server on Discord.

Step 3. Now, add your preferred bot to your Discord server by heading to their websites. Join the Server's voice chat.

Step 4. Next, input the command "/play:" followed by the song you wish to play and listen to. You can continue adding songs by using the above command to create a queue.

Step 5. Switch to Roblox and lower the game volume. Now, you will be able to hear the music while playing Roblox on mobile.

1.4 Use the Shortcut to Play Spotify on Roblox

A shortcut can build a small window on Roblox's interface. iOS users can use the Shortcuts app on their iPhone or iPad to keep Spotify playing while they play Roblox. Follow the steps below to create a Play/Pause shortcut on your iPhone or iPad to control Spotify while playing Roblox:

Step 1. Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone or iPad and tap the "Plus" icon in the top right corner to create a new shortcut.

Step 2. In the search bar at the bottom, type "Play/Pause" and select "Play/Pause" under Media from the search results. Tap "Done" in the top right corner. Then the "Play/Pause" shortcut is now created.

Step 3. In "Settings" on your device, navigate to "Accessibility" and select "Touch." Scroll down and tap "Back Tap," then choose "Double Tap" and select "Play/Pause" under SHORTCUTS.

Step 4. Start playing music on Spotify, then open Roblox and select a game to play. When the Roblox game starts, Spotify will automatically pause. At this point, double-tap the back of your iPhone or iPad, and Spotify will resume playing. To stop Spotify, double-tap the back of your device again.

As we mentioned at the beginning, several Spotify Roblox users have reported that their Spotify music keeps pausing while they play Roblox games. Even after attempting to resume playback by tapping the "Play" button within the Spotify app or through notifications, the issue persists. Spotify continues to pause once they switch back to the Roblox application. If you have similar issues, consider trying the following solutions:

2.1 Enable Spotify Background Activity

The Spotify app on your mobile stops playing because the device screen sleeps or locks. You can try the below step to allow background activity.

Go to the Settings app on mobile. Then tap "Apps > Spotify > Battery > Allow background activity." This setting enables you to get Spotify to play in the background when you are gaming on Roblox.

2.2 Check Your Internet Connection

As we all know, Spotify is a music streaming service. Even though Spotify Island is available, Roblox does not directly integrate with the Spotify app. Therefore, you can only play Spotify over Roblox by running the Spotify app in the background, which may result in interruptions due to a poor network connection. You need to check if the network connection on your device is stable or not. If not, then reconnect it to a strong network and try again.

2.3 Check for Issues with Spotify

Ensure that your device is powerful enough to run both Roblox and Spotify simultaneously. If your device's configuration is low, it may cause Spotify to pause playback. If the issue persists, you can try to uninstall and reinstall Spotify or contact Spotify's customer service for assistance.

It's important to note that enjoying the Roblox game and Spotify music simultaneously may consume additional data or require a stable internet connection. Additionally, Spotify has ads or limitations on free accounts, such as shuffle play or limited skips. If you don't consider subscribing to a Premium account or utilizing free trials to access additional features, we will introduce an alternative way that enables you to use offline Spotify content while playing Roblox without a Spotify Premium account.
