How do I enable Spotify links to open in the Desktop app?

I'm logged in, but when I click a link from, say, Facebook, it opens the web app. How do I launch it directly to Spotify Desktop app?

Hi.

This is a guide by Spotify, hope it's not out dated:

It's also worth trying logging out from the web player.

Hi, 

It also helps if your Spotify account is linked to your Facebook account.

Outdated 😞

Do you have the app opened and active on your desktop when you try the link from Facebook?
