The Jam button is missing
Play a track first: the button lives in the player bar next to the track title. If it still is not there after a SoundCloud redesign, the extension popup (puzzle-piece icon → SoundAlong) offers every Jam control as a fallback, and an update usually follows quickly.
“Click to listen along” keeps appearing
That is your browser’s autoplay protection, not a bug: a page you have not clicked yet may not start audio on its own. One click on the overlay and the Jam takes over from there.
Playback drifts or stutters
- SoundAlong resyncs automatically when drift passes about 1.5 seconds.
- Ads pause the room: participants wait while the host hears an ad (and vice versa). An ad-free SoundCloud subscription avoids this; it is optional.
- “Can't play this track here” means SoundCloud will not play the full track for you (region locks, removed uploads, subscriber-only tracks). The Jam continues with the next track.
Discord shows nothing
- The Discord desktop app must be running (the browser version has no presence).
- Check the popup: it shows whether the companion and Discord are connected.
- Activity sharing must be on in Discord: Settings → Activity Privacy → Share your detected activities with others.
- You cannot see your own presence buttons; that is a Discord quirk. Ask a friend to check your profile.
Still stuck?
Open an issue at github.com/denzi-gh/soundalong. The popup’s Diagnostics section has the details worth pasting.
