Windows 11 Resume feature is now integrating Spotify for cross-device playback functionality. Once enabled, you\u2019ll be able to transfer the music playback session from your Android phone to your Windows 11 PC by just clicking the icon on the taskbar.<\/p>\n

Resume is a slightly old feature that already supports OneDrive documents. This allows you to review and edit the same documents on your PC. Spotify Resume is part of Windows 11\u2019s February 2026 Update (Build 26200.7840 or newer), and it\u2019s now rolling out.<\/p>\n

How to enable Spotify Resume on Windows 11<\/h2>\n

In Windows, cross-device features work via the managed devices interface. If you use features such as using the phone camera as a webcam on your PC, you might already have connected your phone to the PC via this tool. On the phone side, the Link to Windows app makes the connection and pairing possible.<\/p>\n

If not, here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n

  3. Pick a Microsoft account and then scan the QR code on the phone to pair it.<\/li>\n
  4. Enable the Resume<\/strong> feature in the list.

  5. After you do this, you don\u2019t need to do anything else. Simply install Spotify on your phone and PC and sign in with the same account on both devices.<\/li>\n
  6. You can confirm that the Spotify resume is active by going to the Apps<\/strong> Resume<\/strong> section in the Settings app.
    \"resume<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Play a track on your phone and then boot your PC. You\u2019ll see a Spotify widget on the lock screen. As soon as you log in, the Spotify icon will pop up on your taskbar with a phone signal indicating to switch the playback to the PC.<\/p>\n

    My Spotify resume experience<\/h2>\n

    Resume should be instantaneous otherwise, it\u2019s futile. In my testing, the feature worked promptly every time I played a track and then logged in to my PC. The Spotify icon greeted me after a few seconds, and…<\/p>\n
