Spotify Connect is a feature on Spotify that allows you to use the app as a remote and cast content to different devices in your house.
All of your devices have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network and updated to the latest software, so that you can control what is playing on your speakers, TV, or computer through the Spotify app on your smartphone.
The Spotify Connect feature is available to all users, not just those with a premium subscription.
