Can't add Spotify as my default music provider

Hi, 

I am a Spotify Premium member but ever time I want to play music from my Sonos beam I get the message "Sorry, you don't have a default music provider". All I can select as a default music provider is Youtube. My Sonos app is linked to Spotify though.

Can you help please? This has been a problem for years now 😞

Hi ghaime,

 

Glad you reached out.

 

What type of Google speakers do you use? Also, what country are you located at so we can check for the availability of Spotify to the Home app?

 

You can go ahead and also try these steps:Make it so you don’t have to say “on Spotify” at the end of your voice commands. Google Home gives you the option to do this when you ask it to play music, simply say “yes” to agree.

 

To make Spotify the default player manually:

  1. In the Google Home app, tap Account in the top-right.
  2. Tap Settings.
  3. Tap Music under services.
  4. Select Spotify to set it as the default music player for your Google Home.

Let me know if this works for you.

 

Best,

Princess

Hi,

Thanks for your reply but this disn't help since I did not spot Spotify under music services. What did help was using VPN to log in as if I am in Miami. Then Spotify is seen under music services. I have to stay connected through VPN though 😞

Hey ghaime,

 

Thanks for the update. To make sure, do you have Google Home or Google Nest speakers? What language and region set on your phone and Google Home app? Could you try uninstalling and reinstalling your Google Home app?

 

Keep us posted!

 

Best,

Alex
