FAQ & Examples

When I skip song in my Spotify player, it won't queue requests, help???

Without going into detail, Spotify doesn't allow to re-order requested songs. That's why requests are added before a track ends. If you use the player to skip around, Streamer.bot never gets the 'Song is ending soon' signal, and therefore never adds the request. Just use the dock to skip songs, or, idk..just don't skip around?!

What is the fair queueing system?

Improved song request fairness: if one user queues multiple songs, requests from other users will now be placed in between. This prevents a single person from filling the queue with several songs in a row and gives everyone a fair chance to get their request played sooner.

How can I make new songs post to chat when they start playing?

The 'Chat Responses' tab of the Settings UI has a toggle switch 'Auto-Post New Songs'. Enable it to post new songs to chat. And if you want your very custom version of announcing new songs, you can also use the 'New Song' trigger to run a custom action whenever a new song starts playing.

Can I make it work without Spotify Premium?

No. Spotify allowed some endpoints to be used without premium, but starting February 11, 2026, all apps require premium for all endpoints.

Can I disable certain chat responses?

Yes. In the Settings UI inside the Chat Responses tab, enter a single hyphen - to disable that message.

Since version 1.3.7 you can also suppress a single reply by setting the noMessage argument to True before running an action. This lets you mute one reply without disabling the entire response globally.

Can I make the overlay hide when no song is playing? Or only show briefly when a new song starts?

Yes. Open the settings panel of the overlay and select Playing or On Change in the General section.

Can I request songs via YouTube or Soundcloud links?

Yes. YouTube requests use the video title as the query. Soundcloud requests use metadata and are generally more accurate.

I have a Family Account and all my requests are failing. Help?

With Family Accounts, the account used to create the Spotify app and the account authorized in the extension must match.

Otherwise, you must whitelist the other account in your Spotify Dashboard → App → User Management.

The email must match exactly — case-sensitive.

I got rate limited, what can I do?

Not a lot except for waiting I'm afraid. Since ever the big data scrape at the beginning of 2026, Spotify got pretty experimental and restrictive with quota. So rate limits may occur fairly randomly at times and are not per-account instead of per app. So creating a new app in your developer dashboard won't work either.

ForeverParm 10/1/2026

Tawmae once again exceeds my expectations when it comes to FREE extensions that are easy to setup and very customizeable! The ability to bump song requests and to control the songs via a dock on my OBS has been a great QOL update for my stream.

ScienceGeek00 9/13/2026

Really solid and feature-rich Spotify integration for Streamer.bot. The setup is clear, song requests and chat responses are highly customizable, and there are lots of thoughtful controls. For my setup, I added three small custom Streamer.bot additions: - an action that shows my own OBS now-playing overlay when a new song starts; - a separate action that hides it again after 9 seconds; - a lightweight restart detector, so restarting the current track directly in Spotify also shows the overlay again. Those additions work well, but having these options built in would make the extension even smoother. The included overlays did not quite fit my stream style, so I made my own. More compact overlay designs would be lovely; an overlay customizer for layout, fonts, colors and auto-hide duration would be amazing. Overall, a very capable and well-made extension with a lot of potential for personalized stream setups.

DigiVybe 1/22/2026

This extension has enhanced the QOL for me as the broadcaster and for the chat as a whole! Very intuitive setup process with static visual guide. No need to pause rewind and play. Kept it simple and hassle free. This widget is almost as beautiful as its creator! With the powers of Tawmae and Streamer.Bot combined this utility will carry you to peace of mind.

chibisaurus_ 1/10/2026

Easy to import, Easy to set up, and makes life so much easier. Tawmae does an amazing job explaining how to use his extensions, and if you ever need help he is very responsive on his discord with assistance. 10/10

soarn_dev 12/24/2025

This is quite possibly one of the greatest things ever made for Streamer.Bot. Thank you, tawmae!

Shiml_der_Gamer47 12/23/2025

This Spotify widget is absolutely fantastic! I've already recommended it to my friends. It's a shame it doesn't have a switcher for Spotify and YouTube Music. Ideally, it works with the app from this third-party provider: https://github.com/pear-devs/pear-desktop/releases

Osmosis_Ghost 11/26/2025

Used something else for the longest time, but that kept on breaking. This, not a single break yet! Well worth the set up!
