[Desktop][Connect] Disable "Listen on your speaker" pop-up

[z_4f0ht-npo83]

For a while now, on the Spotify desktop Windows application, when I start playing a song, I often get a pop-up that says, "Listen on your speaker," pointing to the Spotify Connect button. This is extremely obnoxious. Coming up once or a few times to let users know about the feature is one thing, but it seems to come up at least daily, which is really annoying.

At the very least, there should be an option on the pop-up to never show it again. Better yet, only show it once or maybe 3 times and then never again regardless.

I'm well aware of Spotify Connect. I've been using it for many years. I don't need an intrusive reminder of its existence each and every time I play a song.

This is related to the help topic here, where many others have complained about this over the last few weeks:
https://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Podcasts-Partners-etc/quot-Listen-on-your-speaker-quot-always...

However, the link posted there by a moderator does not address this issue. I have no desire to disable Spotify Connect, but rather just to not get a pop-up informing me of it every time I start playing music on Spotify.

Still here to say that this is still a moronic, useless notification.  "listen on your speaker" THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING RIGHT NOW; GO AWAY

I hate this pop up and registered just to say so.

This is my third time trying to leave this message because of the pop-ups on this site are so bad I can't get anything written. I've had this service for 9 years I'm on the edge of just canceling it because I'm so sick of having to close the tool tip pop up every time I open the app.

Years long spotify user and this started happening in the last year or so. Create a preference to disable tips and hints. Its super annoying and frustrating to have to swat away these notifications everyday just to use the app.

+1 to this. Please stop with this big blue bubble!

Been using Spotify for many years. Repetitive popups and tool tips are driving me crazy. Allow to disable in settings. I dont need to have the interface explained on every use. 

I've already moved to Apple for podcasts due to your annoying UX changes. Used to love Spotify now increasingly just tolerate it, due to increasingly cluttered UI, nags, popups, notifications, and pushing podcasts on my homepage that I no longer follow.

I'm done. I'm finding a different service.
