Spotify Rolls Out App-Wide Controls to Turn Off All Video

New app-wide toggles let listeners choose an audio-only Spotify experience.

Overview

  • Spotify, which announced the change Thursday, is adding switches that stop video across music and podcasts.
  • The settings include separate toggles for Canvas loops, full music videos, and all other videos such as podcast and vertical clips.
  • Once set, preferences carry over to phone, desktop, web, TV, and any device where you use Spotify.
  • Family Plan managers can set video preferences for each member from subscription settings.
  • Turning videos off converts music videos and many podcasts to audio-only, while video ads and some audio ads still show motion visuals.
