Hi there, thanks for reaching out!

 

There are a few potential reasons that might be causing it:

 

Timestamp Sync Issue: If your computer's internal clock is out of sync with Spotify's server, it might result in incorrect starting times when joining a session.
  
Also, corrupted cache files on your Spotify desktop app could cause playback issues, such as skipping to a specific timestamp.

 

I'd also remember you to check if your Spotify app on your computer is up to date, since an older version might be affecting its handling of Jam sessions.

 

It's important to consider that high latency or unstable internet connection might delay communication between your computer and Spotify’s servers, causing a misaligned start point.


I'd suggest a few troubleshooting steps, such as syncing your device clock, making sure your computer's clock is set to automatically sync with an internet time server. 
    
Clearing Spotify Cache and testing on a different betwork might help as well.


Besides, you can try joining the Jam session from Spotify’s web player to see if the problem is app-specific.


Let me know how it goes!
