Listening to music with friends is a delightful experience, traditionally limited to when you\u2019re physically together. Now, you can recreate this joy from the comfort of your home using Facebook\u2019s \u2018Listen With\u2019 feature. This tool lets you enjoy both new and old tunes with friends, in real-time, without any need for status updates.<\/p>\n

As you play music, it appears in your chat sidebar, allowing your friends to join in. The chat could even blossom into a group discussion as more friends tune in.<\/p>\n

How to Start Listening on Facebook<\/h2>\n

Begin by logging into your Facebook account.<\/p>\n
