Method 1. Stream Spotify on Xbox One Directly
Is Spotify on Xbox One? Spotify is available for free download on Xbox and enables you to listen to your favorite songs and podcasts on the console. However, this feature is available on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, or Xbox One. If you have other models, you should try Method 3 to stream Spotify on Xbox One. Now, let's see how to use Spotify on Xbox one.
STEP 1. Let's head to the Microsoft store. Then, download and install the Spotify app on your console.
STEP 2. Open the app and you'll prompt to log in to your Spotify account.
STEP 3. Enter your Spotify email address and password to sign in. After that, your Xbox One is now connected to your Spotify account.
STEP 4. Press the Xbox button at the center of your controller.
STEP 5. Select the Spotify app from the menu on the left.

Method 2. Stream Spotify to Xbox One via Android/iPhone
Apart from directly logging in to your Spotify account on Xbox One, there is a way for both Spotify Premium subscribers and regular users to immerse themselves into virtual worlds while using Android or iPhone to control Spotify music with ease. That is Spotify Connect. Now, let's see how to stream Spotify to Xbox One from iPhone and Android.
Heads-up: check out whether your device is supported in the list here.

STEP 2. Go to your music library on Spotify and start playing a song.
