For the uninitiated, Spotify offers the option of signing up with a Facebook account. This, of course, would automatically connect and integrate Spotify and Facebook.

However, many must connect Facebook to Spotify separately if they signed up with an email address. If this is the case for you, this is how to connect Spotify to Facebook:

• Open the Spotify desktop app.
• Open the display name dropdown and click Settings.
• Scroll down to the section marked Social.
• Click the CONNECT WITH FACEBOOK button. This will open up a Facebook login popout, where you will log into your Facebook account to link it.

How to disconnect Spotify from Facebook

The option to disconnect Spotify from Facebook is only available to those who created their Spotify account using an email and connected their Facebook account afterward. If this is the case for you, open the Spotify desktop app and, once again, go to Settings. Scroll down to Social and click the button that reads DISCONNECT FROM FACEBOOK.

If you initially created your Spotify account using a Facebook account, no DISCONNECT FROM FACEBOOK button will appear under Social.
