The Easiest Ways to Share Spotify Playlists on Desktop, Mobile, and Online

Music is more fun when shared. I've discovered countless tracks through Spotify over the years, and sharing playlists amplifies that joy. Whether posting custom mixes publicly or collaborating with friends, here are reliable, built-in methods I've used successfully.

Share Playlists on Spotify Desktop

If you primarily use Spotify on your computer, sharing is straightforward. First, create a playlist: click the New Playlist button on the left sidebar, name it, and add custom artwork if desired.

Drag songs or albums to the playlist, or right-click a track and select Add to playlist.

Once ready, click the three dots (More) next to your playlist and select Share. Choose social platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or Telegram—each opens with a pre-filled link.

Key Sharing Links

Additional options include:

1. Playlist link: A standard URL that opens in the web player.

   Example: https://open.spotify.com/user/1227615803/playlist/4N6bBIXiJedXGrmKEDDCXl

2. Embed code: For embedding a playable widget on blogs or forums. Edit the HTML as needed. 7 Cool HTML Effects Anyone Can Add to Their Website: Simple copy-paste tricks for fancy sites. Read More See Spotify's embedding guide for details.

   Example: [Embed code here]

3. Spotify URI: Opens directly in the desktop app.

   Example: spotify:user:1227615803:playlist:4N6bBIXiJedXGrmKEDDCXl

URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) work like mailto: links, launching Spotify instantly—unlike web links.
