The Board of Regents, the Smithsonian's governing body, announced the sites Wednesday. Four sites have been announced as possible locations for the National Museum of the American Latino and the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum. In addition to the U.S., the integration is fully rolling out to users in Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, South Africa, Thailand and Uruguay.The Smithsonian is one step closer to creating two new museums. markets, Mexico and Thailand, ahead of its broader global launch today. The miniplayer feature had been tested in non-U.S. As Facebook’s own music efforts in more recent years have shifted toward partnership efforts - like music video integrations enabled by music label agreements - it makes sense that it would turn to a partner like Spotify to power a new streaming feature that supports Facebook’s broader efforts around monetizable tools and services aimed at the creator economy. Now, both Facebook and Spotify have a mutual enemy with Apple, whose privacy-focused changes are impacting Facebook’s ad business and whose investments in Apple Music and Podcasts are a threat to Spotify. The timing for this renewed and extended partnership is interesting.
Spotify Group Session UX teardown: The fails and their fixes Today, as it has for years, Spotify users on the desktop can see what their Facebook friends are streaming on its app, thanks to social networking integrations. And Spotify had once offered Facebook Login as the default for its mobile app. Spotify had also been one of the first media partners on Facebook’s ticker, which would show you in real time what friends were up to on Facebook and other services. But those plans were later dialed back, possibly over music rights’ or technical issues.
MINIPLAY LAND UPDATE
Facebook back in 2011 had been planning an update that would allow music subscription users to engage with music directly on Facebook, much like this. Spotify and Facebook have a long history of working together on music efforts. It’s also fully in charge of the music catalog and audio ads that play alongside the content.įor Facebook, this deal means it now has a valuable tool to keep users spending time on its site - a metric that has been declining over the years, reports have indicated. However, it’s still responsible for the royalties paid on streams, just as it was before, the company told TechCrunch, because its app is the one actually doing the streaming. The partnership allows Spotify to leverage Facebook’s reach to gain distribution and to drive both sign-ups and repeat usage of its app just as the COVID bump to subscriber growth may be wearing off.
MINIPLAY LAND DOWNLOAD
(Users have to download the Spotify app and sign up for Paid accounts from there if they want to upgrade.) Spotify notes that it’s not possible to sign up for a paid account through the mini-player experience itself, so there’s no revenue share with Facebook on new subscriptions.
MINIPLAY LAND FREE
For first-time Spotify users, they’ll have to sign up for a free account in order to listen to the music shared via the miniplayer. This setup means users will need to have the Spotify mobile app installed on their phone and a Spotify account for the miniplayer to work. When a user posts an individual track or podcast episode to Facebook through this sharing feature, the post will now display in a new miniplayer that allows other people who come across their post to also play the content as they continue to scroll, or reshare it. Now, when Spotify users are listening to content they want to share to Facebook, they’ll be able to tap the existing “Share” menu (the three-dot menu at the upper right of the screen) and then tap either “Facebook” or “Facebook News Feed.” The miniplayer itself is an extension of the social sharing option already supported within Spotify’s app. The feature will be available to both free Spotify users and Premium subscribers.
Today, the companies are rolling out this integration via a new “miniplayer” experience that will allow Facebook users to stream from Spotify through the Facebook app on iOS or Android. Facebook announced last week an expanded partnership with streaming music service Spotify that would bring a new way to listen to music or podcasts directly within Facebook’s app, which it called Project Boombox.
