Spotify Podcast Support
Hello! I would like to have Spotify podcast support implemented so I can listen with my friends, or at least make it possible for each other to see what we're listening to. Just like what happens with music on Spotify! Thank you :)

I came on here specifically to suggest this. I'm glad others want this as well, and have already requested it! Let's hope we get it soon!

As far as I know, this is a limitation on Spotify's end and it is not possible without Spotify changing their things.
On desktop, I believe Discord is using Spotify API to get the song information. This is the API for getting information about the current track: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/player/get-the-users-currently-playing-track/As you can see in the sample data on that page, it gives great data about a song. I tried listening podcast instead of a song, and the API gets me this:
I didn't see anything else referring to current track in the API documentation, so I guess it is not currently possible via the API.
On Android, Spotify uses something called 'broadcasting' to tell Discord the song info. Spotify broadcasts data to every other app whichever is listening to. Discord catches certain broadcasts, in this case Spotify's broadcasts. Discord's Android app doesn't show any listening status when listening to podcast on mobile, so might be that Spotify is not broadcasting podcast data either.6 -

+1! Like Calcifer said I don't expect or need the "listen along" feature but I don't see why we can't have it displayed on profile

+1 as well I was searching up on the web to see if this was a bug actually... Anyways if some users wouldnt like to show their podcasts, they can choose to configure that setting on Spotify as I found out that this issue isn't with Discord, it is with Spotify as their API wont allow it.
"Spotify does not expose podcasts or videos that are being listened to or watched over their APIs. If they ever add that capability we would be able to support it as well."

Directed to provide feedback after 2 months of going around with support thinking the spotify integration was broken before they realized I was talking about Podcasts, since that's all I was listening to on spotify.
