Discord pauses Spotify due to its 'Listen Along' feature, which allows users to listen to music together. This feature requires everyone listening to have their own Spotify Premium account. If you or someone in your session does not have Premium, Discord pauses playback to prevent unauthorized account sharing. To solve this, ensure all participants have Spotify Premium, or disable the 'Listen Along' feature by stopping the session in your Discord settings.
