Play/pause button doesn't work with spotify now with the Touch Bar

Whenever I hit the button it plays or pauses something in Chrome! How do I fix this? It used to work perfectly and now it's broken.


The did I unlink something with the touch bar?

The below instructions from https://www.ghacks.net/2019/04/17/fix-chrome-blocking-keyboard-multimedia-keys-from-working/ worked for me.


  1. Load chrome://flags/#hardware-media-key-handling in the Chrome address bar; this should open the right flag when loaded.
  2. Set the Hardware Media Key Handling flag to Disabled.
  3. Restart Google Chrome.
