Spotify Now Offers the Ability to Disable Unwanted Videos

The update gives Premium, Basic and free users three switches to disable music videos, Canvas clips and other video features across devices.

  • On Thursday, Spotify announced new controls allowing users to disable music videos, Canvas looping visuals, and other video content across all free and paid service tiers.
  • Spotify has increasingly incorporated video tools like Canvas and video podcasts since 2018, making it difficult for listeners to avoid clips while using the service.
  • Users can access the new controls under Settings > Content and display on mobile, or the Display section on desktop, with preferences syncing across all platforms.
  • Family Plan managers can now toggle video settings for all members, expanding features previously restricted to managed accounts for users under 13.
  • Video ads and Canvas-like visuals on audio advertisements remain unaffected by the toggles, though the update begins rolling out globally this month with some users seeing options in coming weeks.
