Windows 10: Why can't I link my Spotify account with Focus Clock?

Whenever I try to link my Spotify account to the Clock app so I can use it in a Focus session, a new tab appears that says "Connecting to a service" with nothing else. I've tried linking it from the Focus app settings, and the same issue occurs.I've reinstalled both Spotify and the Clock app, and made sure to install and login with the same Microsoft account.I've reset my laptop multiple times, I have a Surface Laptop and it is up-to-date.I looked up if other people are having the same issue, and I could only find one article with the same problem, and they claim it to be a 'bug'. I'm very new

Cann't link Spotify with Clock app

Hello ! I'm Aymeric, and I'm here to help !

The inability to link to Spotify is a known bug on the Clock app. I have tried on two Windows 11 devices, and I am experiencing the same behaviour, with a blank screen when try to connect to the service. If you have a look in the Feedback Hub, some people have also reported this error.

At the moment, there's nothing to do, except waiting for an update. Given the fact that the error has been reported, you shouldn't wait too long.

Sorry for the inconvenience...

Feel free to ask if you have any other question !

 

Windows clock integration with spotify

That's why I included the Can't Play Spotify guide from Spotify Support. Did you read it? https://support.spotify.com/us/article/cant-pla...

If that's not enough there are these other Spotify threads about Play button not working which might help:

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Window...

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Window...

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Window...

If none of those also work with the clock integration then there is nothing yet on the web about that specific Play button issue. So I would post in the Spotify forums accessed by the links above to find out what others have done about this.

If that doesn't help they have other Support channels to access here:

Contact us - Spotify

Please keep us posted on what you find out so others can be helped who have this same problem.
