- Earlier this year, Spotify rolled out an all-new feature that lets users watch music videos within the app.
- You can switch between audio and video formats with the new feature, which is slowly being rolled out to more subscribers.
- A limited catalog of music videos is now available to Spotify Premium users.
Let’s be real—music videos have shifted culture and played a huge role in shaping us into who we are for decades. As Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” reinvented Halloween, Beyoncé’s “Crazy in Love” transformed a basic white tank top into an iconic outfit, and Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next” let us relive our favorite chick flicks and past flings, the art of music videos has evolved alongside our chronically online pop culture landscape. While the heyday of MTV has come and gone, we’ll still be able to tune in to our faves’ new videos thanks to a new Spotify feature.
Yep—we’ll soon be able to watch music videos directly on Spotify, as the streaming platform rolls out a limited catalog to premium subscribers over the next few weeks.
As of right now, the catalog includes videos from artists like Charli xcx, LISA, and Fontaines D.C. across Spotify’s mobile, desktop, and TV apps. If you’re wondering how the feature works, it’s as simple as tapping a button. Let’s break it down, shall we?
How to use Spotify’s new music video feature
- Open Spotify on your device and tap the “Switch to video” button for music tracks with video.
- The “Now Playing” view will switch to the track’s music video, picking up right where you left off.
- You can change modes by pressing “Switch to audio” or “Switch to video.”
It’s unclear whether Spotify’s new feature will eventually be available to all users, but what we do know is that our music video watch parties and pregames have leveled up significantly thanks to this update.
