Use this interactive demo to learn how to show your YouTube Music status on Discord.

Quick summary

The YouTube Discord Presence extension lets you display your YouTube Music listening status directly on your Discord profile in real time. Install the browser extension and its companion helper app to automatically sync your now-playing track with Discord.


Steps

  1. Open your browser and go to chromewebstore.google.com, search for YouTube Discord Presence, then press Enter.
  2. Click Add to your browser to install the extension.
  3. After installation, the extension will open its GitHub Releases page automatically.
  4. Download the latest version of the helper application for your operating system.
  5. Run the installer and complete the setup process on your device.
  6. Open YouTube Music in your browser and play any song.
  7. Wait a few seconds, then open Discord and check your profile status — your currently playing track should appear automatically.
  8. Pause the song or close the YouTube Music tab to remove the listening status from Discord automatically.

📌 Why this matters

Showing your YouTube Music listening activity on Discord helps you connect with friends and communities around shared music taste in real time. The YouTube Discord Presence extension bridges two of the most popular platforms for music and social gaming, requiring no coding and just a two-part install. This feature matters because Discord's Rich Presence is a proven engagement driver, and YouTube Music users have historically lacked native status integration. By following this guide, users can display their now-playing track as a live Discord status within minutes.
