Are you a Spotify premium listener? Spotify is giving Premium users a new feature that will allow them to share music with anyone that lives around you. You can now share your DJ time and host a listening party in the comfort of your home. The new feature — Group Sessions, is rolling out today, however, it only works for Premium users.

Group Sessions allows a "host" to present a scannable code to his "guests" with a Premium account. This means that all users will have the control to play, pause, skip and select or add a specific song to the collective playlist. Once you have made such changes, it will be updated on everyone's devices. If you're wondering how many guests can you invite on the group sessions, it's still evolving over time based on user feedback, hence there's no cap on the number of users who can join a session.

This is a twist on the Collaborative playlist feature which allows someone to share their own collection of songs with friends while also granting them the freedom to add, delete, and reorder the tracks.

If you're bored during the circuit breaker, you can now host a group session party with your friends and enjoy some good quality music time together.
