On July 28, Spotify announced that after a few months of testing, its tool allowing users to host virtual parties and listen to tunes together while confined in their respective homes has launched as an updated beta.

After releasing the initial beta version of Group Session – a tool that allows a group of users to stream the same music (or podcast) at the same time while they're in different places – back in May, Spotify has now announced that an updated beta is launching for all Premium listeners.
