{Windows 8] Video ad playing, whilst music is playing as well.

[_Chernobyl]

Currently, I've been listening to a heap load of songs for what seems to be 3 hours. The problem is now there a video ad that'll play repeatedly while the song is playing as well. The ad will usually play as fragmented sound and a video on the bottom banner. What do I do?

This has been  happening to me, as well. It's really annoying, so I have just started turning Spotify off when it happens and play my music from another source. I hope Spotify will be fixing this soon.

I just had this happen recently on my Windows 10 machine.  I'm not even going to consider continuing to use Spotify, let alone getting Spotify premimum, if this isn't fixed very quickly.

Same problem here. On Windows 10

Same problem here. On Windows 10. The ad is playing quite often - if its not fixed it might be the end of Spotify for me. Going to premium is not the solution I need, in case that comes up.

Hey everybody, welcome to the Spotify Community!

Could you let us know the exact Spotify version you're using? Also, we'd recommend following the steps here to reinstall the app. 

Let us know if it makes any difference.

Take care 🙂
