Spotify is a media-services provider founded in 2006. The company originates in Sweden with its primary business being its audio streaming platform that allows users to conveniently stream music and podcasts from the cloud.
In July 2017, Spotify was released as an Xbox One app. The app allows users to stream music and other media in the background while they play games on their Xbox console.
Features
The most predominant feature of the app is media streaming while playing games. The Xbox One app works by being paired with the Spotify app on the user's phone. Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network for the service to work. Users can then select music on their phone and have the option to play it through their Xbox console.
