Discord Rich Presence

Discord Rich Presence publishes the track you are playing to your Discord status, complete with album art, artist name and a live progress bar that ticks along with the song.

Friends can click through to the track on YouTube Music. If you would rather not broadcast a particular session, the plugin can be paused from the menu without disabling it entirely.

Frequently asked questions

Nothing shows up in Discord — what is wrong?

Rich Presence requires the Discord desktop client running on the same machine, and "Display current activity as a status message" enabled in Discord’s Activity Privacy settings.

Does it show what I listen to when paused?

Only if you want it to. There is an option to clear the presence as soon as playback stops.
