It became a little easier to listen to Spotify with a housemate.

Spotify wants to make it a little bit easier for everyone at your party, even if it’s a family dance session in the living room, to have something to say in music. On Monday Spotify introduced a new feature called Group Sessions that allows two or more Premium users to take control of music in real time and contribute to a group playlist.

To use Group Session, a Premium user becomes the “host” and they will get a scannable code that can be shared with the guests. Then each member of the group session can play, pause, skip, select and add tracks to the shared queue.

The music streaming service has offered limited ways to share music in the past by allowing subscribers to create collaborative playlists with friends and through Spotify’s family plan.

The party feature is currently in beta, and Spotify plans to update it in overtime based on listener feedback. Spotify Premium, which offers ad-free music and other features, costs $ 9.99 for an individual account or $ 14.99 for a family plan with up to six accounts.
