Web app can't connect to Spotify

On chromebook, spotify web app (chromebook name for the web player) gets stuck at "connecting to Spotify"

I've tried deleting all Spotify related cookies, uninstalling the web app and reinstalling, restarting the computer, changing the wireless network, and nothing works. 

My husband's computer is identical, and Spotify web app is working on his.

 Hey guys!

 

As we've not seen any new reports of this occur since our last update, we're moving this one over to closed.

 

Of course, if you're still having any difficulty with this issue, let us know in a new Ongoing Issue and we'll take a look into this further.

 

Thanks 🙂

I have an Acer Chromebook. I'm been using spotify on it for months, but all of a sudden it doesn't want to connect. I've gone through a ton of forums, cleared my cookie stuff, changed my country (well, kept it the same), and a ton of other things. I don't know what else to do. 

HALP.

Hey!
Welcome to Spotify.

 

Are you guys using a mobile device? If so, you'll have to download the Spotify app.

If you're using a computer, please try the following:

  • Using a different browser
  • Logging in and out of Spotify
  • Clearing the cache and cookies of the browser you're using
  • Restarting your computer

(You don't have to do these in any specific order!)

Still experiencing problems or on a different device? Let me know!

Hi,

I've done all four steps (multiple times) but the web player still shows as "connecting to Spotify" with the loading wheel of death.

Having the same problem - it just started today and I've done all the usual stuff, tried another PC, clearing cache/cookies, using a different IP address etc. so this suggests to me that it's a problem on Spotify's side.

Same problem for me. None of the above works in addressing the issue 😞

ditto. stuck on 'Connecting to Spotify' no matter what I do

had this problem since today. was fine before so I assume the problem is on Spotify's side?
