As with every paid subscription service, Spotify also comes with different plans to meet the needs of different categories of people.

If you are a parent with a spouse and children, you will most probably opt-in for the family plan as it is cheaper than buying an individual account for each member. Let us now go through the step-by-step process of how to join Spotify family premium.
Step 1: Get the Family invite link and address
To get this, you will need to ask the plan manager, that is, the person who signed up for Premium Family with their Spotify account. Follow these steps as the manager:
- Sign in to your Spotify account (plan manager) and then click on the premium family menu option or click this link
- On the page, click on the invite link to copy it and then highlight the address at the top and right-click on it to copy.
Once done, send both the invite link and address copied to the person you wish to invite to the family plan.
Step 2: Join the Family Plan
To join the plan, your IP address has to be from the country the subscription was made and the account should also be set to that. In case you are traveling abroad for a while, you may consider using a VPN.

If you created your account from a different country, do the following to change the account location.
- Sign in to your Spotify account on any browser and head over to account overview
- Click on edit profile and scroll down to country or region, open the drop-down menu, and select the current country of residence, which is determined by your IP address
Once that is done, you can now proceed to join the family plan. Follow the steps below:
- Sign in to your Spotify account from any web browser.
- Copy the link sent to you by the plan manager and paste it into the browser.
- You will get a page asking you to accept the invite. Click on the black button to proceed.
- On the next page, confirm that you want to join the plan with the account that is signed in to continue.
- You will then be prompted to enter the address. Get the address sent to you by the plan manager, paste it, and click on continue.
If all was done as guided, you will get a confirmation page welcoming you to Premium Family. Both you as well as the family plan manager will receive an email from Spotify announcing your entry.
Now you are free to stream music while enjoying all the premium benefits the service has to offer. You can however only use your account for streaming on one device at a time as is the case with all Spotify premium plans.
Conclusion
Enjoying the premium benefits of music streaming services should be something very simple to set up. I hope that you will be able to set up your family member account and dive into it. Feel free to check out other blog posts on our website and share this article with a friend.
