Part 2. How to Play Music from Spotify to TeamSpeak via TS3 Bot

Next, let’s conveniently find out how to play music from Spotify to TeamSpeak 3 directly. All you need is to have Spotify and TeamSpeak 3 download, and then use a TeamSpeak Spotify plugin, called Virtual Audio Cable. 

This Virtual Audio Cable is important to stream Spotify on TeamSpeak. After you have downloaded everything and you are good to go, you will have to refer to the following steps to get started.

How to Use TeamSpeak Music Bot for Spotify Music

Step 1: Browse the Virtual Audio Cable download button. Select 64-bit or 32-bit to download the file, depending on your OS. After installation, it will help you switch between TeamSpeak Music Bot Lines 1 and 2. 

Step 2: Then click on Settings > Identities. Now, click on the Add option to add a new profile. You can name your new profile anything you like. Then click on the OK option. 

Step 3: Tap Bookmark > Add Bookmark to add a label name, address, and username. And you will see the Usernames match profile names. In the Identity drop-down menu, click on that, and pick your newly created profile. Repeat the process for the capture and playback profiles, then hit Apply.

Step 4: Hit Bookmark again and right-click on the username you just created, then the main screen will add the new username to it. 

Step 5: Go to Settings > Options > Playback, and click on the + sign. Name it and adjust the voice and sound pack volume to be quiet. Choose Playback device and select Line 1.  

Step 6: Click on Capture and create a new profile. The capture device must be Line 1, and the voice activation detection should be the lowest. Hit Apply and then OK.

Step 7: Next, download Equalify Pro, click on Settings, and change the audio device to Line 1. And now your TeamSpeak Music Bot will start picking up the songs you are playing on Spotify. And you are done.

Part 3. How to Stream Spotify to TeamSpeak via Virtual Audio Cable

If you prefer not to download files and want to stream exactly what you are hearing live, you can create a “Music Bot” using a tool called Virtual Audio Cable (VAC) or VB-Cable.

This method involves routing your Spotify audio output into a “virtual cable” and then telling TeamSpeak to use that cable as its microphone input.

Note: This method is slightly more technical and requires Windows 10 or 11.

How to Set Up a TeamSpeak Music Bot for Spotify

Step 1. Install Virtual Audio Cable

Download and install a Virtual Audio Cable driver (such as VB-Cable). Restart your computer after installation.

Step 2. Create a New TeamSpeak Identity

You don’t want the music playing through your main microphone (or people won’t hear you speak).

1. In TeamSpeak, go to Tools > Identities.
2. Click Create and name it “MusicBot”.
3. Close the window.

Step 3. Configure Spotify Audio Routing

1. Open Spotify and start playing a song.
2. In Windows search, type “Sound Mixer Options” and open it.
3. Find Spotify in the App list. Change the Output device from “Default” to CABLE Input (VB-Audio Virtual Cable).

Note: You will stop hearing Spotify through your speakers. This is normal; it is now flowing into the virtual cable.

Step 4. Connect the Bot to TeamSpeak

1. In TeamSpeak, click Connections > Connect.
2. Enter the server address.
3. Under Identity, select the “MusicBot” identity you created earlier.

Important: Click In New Tab. This allows you to have your main account and the bot logged in simultaneously.

Step 5. Set Capture Device

1. On the tab where your “MusicBot” is connected, go to Tools > Options > Capture.
2. In the “Capture Profile,” select Capture Device and choose CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable).
3. Set “Voice Activation Detection” to roughly -50 or continuous transmission to ensure the music doesn’t cut out during quiet parts.
4. Click Apply.

Now, whatever plays on Spotify will be “heard” by the Virtual Cable and “spoken” by your MusicBot into the TeamSpeak channel.
