Common Issues When Embedding Spotify

It takes about 2 minutes to embed Spotify on your site. However, on rare occasions, you might encounter some issues during embedding. 

Let’s outline them below, including practical troubleshooting tips:

  • New Content Not Displayed: You might notice that new tracks added to the Spotify playlist or new podcast episodes do not appear on your site. Click the Request sync button to refresh the embed or wait for the scheduled update.
  • Wrong Data Source: Providing the wrong content ID could result in the embed displaying the wrong content or no stream. Confirm that you provided the correct data source when setting up your website widget.
  • Limited Customization: If you are on a free plan, you might only access some customization features. We recommend upgrading to a premium package for unlimited customization options.
  • Embed Takes Long to Sync: Occasionally, an embed might take excessively long to display the Spotify feed. Wait at least 24 hours for the embed to finish syncing the Spotify content. If the feed does not appear after 48 hours, consider repeating the embed process or contacting customer support for assistance.
