Source-checked About 10 minutes
Answer
A Premium user can start and host a Jam, share its link or QR code, and manage the queue. Free users can join eligible in-person Jams; remote participation requires Premium.
Prepare the task and protect the current state
Confirm the exact account, ownership, billing, age, region, recovery method, and any organization or family restrictions. Never share passwords, verification codes, recovery keys, payment images, cookies, or session tokens with supposed support. Begin by confirming this task-specific prerequisite: On mobile, tap Connect device from Now Playing or a public playlist, then choose Start a Jam.

Verify the complete result
Repeat the intended action with a harmless test and confirm this final condition: The host can control guest permissions, remove participants, and end the Jam by leaving. Reopen the relevant settings, destination, account, project, device, or output and compare it with the recorded starting state before deleting an original or relying on the change.
Use a reversible recovery path
If the result differs, undo only the latest change when possible, keep the original project, file, account, device configuration, or installer intact, and compare the exact symptom with the linked Spotify Support guidance. Record the version, time, error, and completed checks before contacting official support.
