New Greenroom App Includes Live Audio, Renamed Spotify Live

Spotify’s live audio Greenroom app has been renamed Spotify Live and integrated into the main Spotify app.

In a statement announcing the rebranding, Spotify said, “This shift represents our belief in the future of live-audio creators and live experiences being given to all 406 million Spotify subscribers around the world.”

For the time being, creators are limited to a few podcasters and musicians who have Spotify shows and tracks.

Listeners can access live programming from the creator’s podcast or artist page, but they must use the separate redesigned Spotify Live app to engage in the chat or join the host onstage.

Independent creators who wish to go live on the Spotify Live app must do so as well.

The rebranding will be highlighted in some special programming, including:
