I created this tutorial to walk you through how to change your Spotify username — or at least update your display name, which is what most people see. Watch it here:

Spotify usernames are a bit weird. You can’t actually change the system-generated username that Spotify assigns when you first sign up. But the good news? You can update your display name, which is what shows on your profile, playlists, and shared links.
In the video, I show you how to do it on both mobile and desktop:
- Mobile: Go to your profile > Edit > Display Name
- Desktop: Click your profile in the top right > Account > Edit Profile
Your new display name will instantly update across your account, and this is what most people interact with. You can make it personal, fun, professional — whatever suits your style.
I also explain how to connect your Spotify with Facebook if you want to pull in that name instead.
Have you customized your Spotify identity yet, or are you still stuck with a random string of numbers?
