The Spotify Family account is very useful for sharing a Spotify Premium account with several people. This way you can add family members to a Family account.
Tip: Add family members to a Spotify Family Premium account
It has been possible to take out a family subscription via Spotify for a number of years. This way you can share the costs for a Premium account with your family members. For a fixed amount per month you can listen to unlimited music without advertising. Each family member or housemate then has their own account via the subscription. Here’s how to share a Spotify Family account:
- Go to this page and log in;
- Select ‘Premium Family’ in the menu on the left;
- If you are not yet sharing the subscription with five others, you can click on the empty boxes here to add family members;
- Enter the email address of the person you want to add and send an invitation. It is also possible to send a link;
- Family members receive the invitation in their inbox and can confirm it;
- They can then log in with an existing Spotify account or create a new account.
You can use a Family account with a maximum of six people. A standard Spotify subscription costs ten euros per month, but for a family connection that you can share with five others, you pay fifteen euros. If you share the costs, you are therefore much cheaper.
Officially you have to live at the same address, although this does not always happen of course. Previously, Spotify checked with a GPS test whether the people who had a family subscription actually lived at the same address. Spotify has now stopped doing that.
