Spotify is reportedly moving live audio conversations to its main app

The live audio app is being renamed and put into the main music streaming app to make it more visible, according to a report. Greenroom, a place where creators can hold conversations that subscribers can listen to, will be renamed as Spotify Live.

With the product moving to the main streaming app as part of the rebrand, that will likely change, as well as the fact that a Spotify account was not required to use Greenroom at launch. The update was discovered by the developer in the app and is expected in the second quarter.

Greenroom was launched last year as a competitor to Clubhouse. It was built by Betty Labs, a software developer that was acquired by Spotify. When it launched Greenroom, Spotify was one of several tech platforms building live audio products, hoping to catch some of the buzz (and users) that Clubhouse did in its first year.

Greenroom hasn't really found a wider audience so far, after getting off to a slow start after its rebrand last year.

On Wednesday, The Verge asked for comment from the service, but they didn't reply immediately.
