I'm a huge fan of sharing my favourite songs with my friends in Discord, but lately, whenever I copy the song's link, they dont show up as before, instead, they are shown as "open.spotify" instead of "spotify.link" making it unable to see the preview of the song, and forcing you to open the browser in order to listen to it.
I did a clean uninstall of Spotify and installing it again, I have also searched for the "host" text in the notepad as administrator, but doesn't seems to fix anything
I know the problem resides in the application of Spotify since this only happens when I copy the song's link in my computer, but no matter where I paste it, the link is always shown as it shouldn't.

In the attached files it can be seen how the links of others is shared vs the link that I share, the first one has a preview of the song meanwhile mine doesn't.

Hey @azurenim,

Thanks for reaching out!

When copying a link to share a song, have you tried using the URI of the track instead of its link?
Hold Ctrl on your keyboard before selecting 'Copy Song Link' and it will switch to 'Copy Spotify URI' as shown below.


Hope this helps!

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion
After doing this post I was talking with some friends about said problem and we find out a small issue
"intl-es" apparently having Spotify in spanish wasn't allowing me to do so, I've changed the language to english and started to work as it should
Again, thanks for the quick response!

Is there a way to do this on your cell phone? via the app or the website, using "desktop" mode?

Hello! Me and my friend are encountering the same problem, and copying the Spotify URI doesn´t solve it, any other tips to perhaps make it work again?
