For steps on how to play Spotify on your TV, check out Spotify on TV.
- Since then Spotify dropped off Alexa. I went into the Alexa app / Link Service / Music Setting, and the Spotify link is a dead link. Apple, Pandora, Tidal all work, but Spotify is unreactive. I've turned off all four Alexa devices around my home, restarted my iPhone, updated Spotify on the desktop, but none of these steps have solved the problem.
- Go under the “play” part of your alexa app on the homescreen. Next, scroll to the bottom of the page and you’ll see ‘More Music Streaming Services’. Once there, it will have multiple apps (Spotify, pandora, Apple Music, etc) to connect to. This is the only way I’ve found Spotify to connect to the echo devices. Hope this helps!
- Solved Backstory: Spotify was working on my Echo Dot just fine then my first Spotify account for whatever reason stopped working. (My Echo Dot 2 was linked to this one) So I had to close that account. I have a new one now but the Alexa app won’t link to it.
- After you connect the apps and finish the set-up, Alexa will play music from Spotify by default. To play a specific playlist, you should say: “Alexa, play the playlist name.”.
To see if your TV supports the Spotify app, go to the app store on your TV and search for Spotify. If your TV isn't listed, you can upgrade it with a soundbar or streamer that supports Spotify Connect.
Connect Spotify with Amazon Echo. You’ve got your Amazon Echo setup and ready to go. Now we just need to set up the connection to Spotify so that you can play your music. You’re going to need a premium account to use Spotify with Alexa, just FYI. To set the connection: Open the Amazon Alexa app on your smartphone or mobile device.
