How to Use the Spotify Stream Widget on Your Live Stream

Want to show the song currently playing on your livestream? The Spotify Widget by StreamSpell adds track information to your scene through a Browser Source, without developer accounts or API keys.

Spotify Widget by StreamSpell

The widget displays your current music in a clean, animated overlay that is easy to adapt to different channel styles. Long track titles can scroll instead of being cut off, while the StreamSpell Music Widget app keeps the information updated as your song changes.

Customize the Widget for Your Brand

Adjust the background, accent and text colors, choose the layout and fonts, control the shape, or upload a custom background. You can also use a dynamic gradient that updates automatically from the album artwork, a manual gradient, or a solid color. Changes appear in the preview so you can refine the design before going live.

Quick Setup for OBS and Streamlabs

1. Install and open the StreamSpell Music Widget app on Windows.
2. Open Spotify Desktop and play a song.
3. Customize the widget and copy its Browser Source URL.
4. Add a Browser Source in OBS Studio, Streamlabs Desktop, StreamElements, Meld Studio, or another compatible app.
5. Paste the URL, resize the source, and position it in your scene.

Keep the StreamSpell Music Widget app running while you stream. It can stay minimized in the system tray and continue updating automatically.
