My Question or Issue

I select my Google Nest Speaker in the connected devices. The Nest Speaker plays the "connected" chime sound however Spotify sits at "Connecting..." and the music doesn't play on the speaker.

This happens a few times per week. I have tried force closing the app, clearing cache, disconnecting from WiFi and reconnecting, and clean reinstall but it keeps happening.

Does anyone know of a permanent fix?

This issue still exists for me. Sometimes Spotify just won’t connect to any of my nest speakers. Both on android and iPhone. It appears to be a Spotify app issue as I can open any other google cast enabled app and the t works perfectly. This includes Deezer which works flawlessly when Spotify is playing up.

I'll add myself to the list of people experiencing this problem!

Everything worked just fine. The only difference I can think of is that I switched modem/router (yes, I'm on the same wifi amongst all my devices)

Still an issue. All the same issues as above.

Also having this issue. Worked fine until a day ago. Can connect via a jam, but iPhone 12 updated iOS won’t connect otherwise. Tried all the steps above and no joy - just a chime but doesn’t actually connect

Same problem here. Different android phones and several nest speakers. Tunein, youtube etc works fine. Just spotify that has this problem.
