What is the Discord Amazon Music Listening Party feature?
The Amazon Music Listening Party is an Activity on Discord that allows users to listen to music and podcasts together in real-time. This feature integrates Amazon Music Unlimited with Discord, enabling a smooth shared listening experience.
The Listening Party feature is available in markets where Amazon Music Unlimited is offered. Users can access it on both desktop and mobile versions of Discord. To participate in the Listening Party, each user must have an Amazon Music Unlimited subscription. This tier lets you choose specific songs and podcasts from Amazon Music’s extensive library.
