Opera, which offers several different browsers for computers and mobile devices, has started cooperation with Spotify, still the number one on the music streaming market. The goal of the collaboration is to make it easier for users to listen to music, podcasts and audiobooks while browsing the Internet. As part of this cooperation, Spotify becomes the default music service in the Opera One player.
Spotify in Opera – what’s new?
Opera’s research shows that most Internet users listen to music on their phones while working at their computers. This practice is declared by as many as 66% of interviewed Internet users, while as many as 89% of respondents explain it as more convenient to control music on the phone instead of on the computer. Spotify’s integration with Opera One is apparently going to change that. The music player is located in the browser sidebar and can be moved freely around the screen. The music automatically mutes during a teleconference, which is a very practical solution.
– People love listening to music and podcasts while using the computer. Now, with Spotify in the sidebar in Opera One, everything is literally at your fingertips. We can shop, write, plan a trip, work and never stop listening to our favorite music. We can do all this in a new floating browser media player window. – Joanna Czajka, Product Director at Opera.
If you have used Opera so far, you know how many possibilities the sidebar has, allowing, among others: switch between contexts, instant messengers and music players. Various streaming services are generally supported, but Opera’s cooperation with Spotify also brings new products and promotions.
Spotify features in Opera:
- Built-in player: you can listen to music without leaving the browser
- Moving the player: Position the player anywhere on the screen
- Auto mute: Music mutes during a conference call
- Sidebar Integration: Quickly access Spotify from the Opera sidebar

What’s new on Spotify
One of the latest changes to Spotify is the global availability of music videos on the app. Now users around the world, not only in selected countries, can enjoy not only music, but also watch clips of their favorite artists. Music videos on Spotify are, of course, available in Poland. The company is also focused on improving tools for artists.
Recently, the “Campaign Kit” was introduced, a set of marketing tools that help musicians promote their work and gain new fans. It includes, among others: features such as “Discovery Mode” and “Showcase” that allow you to reach a wider audience. In addition, Spotify has introduced a new function in Poland – “Daylist”. It is a personalized playlist that adapts to the user’s current mood and is refreshed several times a day. “Daylist” is available on both the free and paid versions of Spotify and can be found in the “Made for You” section.
