When we launched Spotify Greenroom in 2021, we wanted to connect fans and creators on a deeper level through live listening in the Spotify ecosystem. Since then, Spotify Greenroom has evolved through updates and iterations that have enhanced the live-listening experience.
Now, as our audio offerings continue to evolve, we are changing the name of Greenroom to Spotify Live-and bringing its live capabilities directly onto the Spotify app. This change reflects our belief in the future of live-audio creators and live experiences being provided to all 406 million Spotify listeners around the globe.
What's new? Spotify Live can now be found both as the stand-alone app listeners and hosts know and love, and as a livestream function in the Spotify app alongside your favorite music and podcasts. Listeners will be able to tune in to live programming on Spotify via the creator's podcast or artist page, and if they want to participate in the chat or join the host onstage, they can head to the Spotify Live app to do so.

To start, we're making live audio in the Spotify app available for select original programming. Independent creators who wish to go live can still do so in the Spotify Live app.
To kick off this exciting evolution of our live-audio offering, we'll be highlighting our top audio creators through exclusive, first-of-its-kind programming in addition to the full slate of original programming we've already introduced.
These events will begin rolling out today, starting with a live edition of Off the Record with DJ Akademiks. You can access these shows directly from the creators' artist pages to listen live on Spotify. If you want to get in on the conversation or chat with other fans tuning in, then head over to the Spotify Live app for the chance to comment and to interact with other listeners in real time.
Here is just some of the exciting live content coming to Spotify in April and May:
