A reference walkthrough for converting an existing Spotify playlist into a ready-to-play Roomzic YouTube queue — useful when Spotify Premium or Spotify Connect isn't available where you're playing.

Spotify playback in Roomzic requires an active Premium account and a Spotify Connect device. When either is missing, importing an existing playlist into a YouTube queue removes that requirement entirely.

This is the condensed reference version of the steps — for the full context on when to use this versus classic playback, see the feature page linked below.

How it works

1

Connect Spotify

A connected Spotify account is required to read the source playlist.

2

Choose "Import to YouTube"

Pick this mode instead of classic Spotify playback when setting up the room.

3

Select the playlist

Roomzic lists every playlist available on your connected account.

4

Wait for the conversion

Each track is matched to a YouTube video one by one, with live progress feedback.

5

Play from the generated queue

The room switches to YouTube mode, playing the queue in the original playlist's order.

Practical tips

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Spotify Premium to do this?
You need a connected Spotify account to select the source playlist, but playback afterward runs entirely through YouTube — no Premium or Spotify Connect device required for that room.
What happens to tracks that don't match well?
They're skipped rather than replaced with an incorrect match, so the imported queue never surprises you.
Can guests still suggest songs after the import?
Yes, the imported tracks are just the starting queue — guests keep suggesting and voting as usual.
