Why can't I access my member-only episodes on Spotify?

If you've joined a membership but are still locked out on the Spotify App, it's usually due to one of these reasons:


First Scenario: Not Linked Yet

After joining, you must manually "Link Spotify" once to authorize access. Go to "Member Management" on the show's homepage to set this up.


Second Scenario: Account Mismatch (Most Common)

The Spotify account logged into your web browser (Safari/Chrome) is different from the account logged into your Spotify App.


🔍 How to Fix:

  1. Compare Usernames:

    • Web: Check your "Username" on the Spotify Account Page.

    • App: Tap your avatar > "Settings and privacy" > "Account" > Check "Username".

  2. If they don't match, Re-link:

    • Unlink: Go to Spotify Apps with Access, find Firstory, and click "Remove Access."

    • Disconnect: In Firstory's Member Management, click "Disconnect."

    • Re-link: Ensure your browser is logged into the same account as your App, then connect Spotify again.
