MM SPOTiFY v2000 for Live Streaming
This extension adds the flexibility and controllability of manipulating your Spotify player through commands and/or with the push of a button!
Listeners can submit song requests in chat via artist/song, or they can drop a Spotify link and accomplish the same thing. With this extension, each action is completely independent, meaning you can have your volume automatically adjust when you change scenes, pause the music when you switch to just chatting, or tie a channel point redeem to playing a specific song...the possibilities really are endless!
This extension DOES require a paid Spotify Premium account (couples, student, and family accounts work). Without the premium account, you will only be allowed to fetch your queue, and get the current/previously played songs.
