Can I use my phone as a remote for Spotify on my desktop computer

[pornosaurusrex]

The answer is no but I want that to be different I'm in the bathroom wishing I could change the song playing from my computer through my nice speakers with Spotify from my phone where I'm logged in to the same account...this needs to be a thing

I don't know why the answer is 'no' for you. Did you try to use spotify connect, which is even better than common remote control?

As mentioned, Connect does this.

You need to ensure you are running the latest version of the desktop app or maybe even try the beta: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Mac-and/Welcome-to-the-Desktop-Beta/td-p/932803)
