Spotify Introduces New Video Controls for Users
Spotify has announced the rollout of new settings that allow users to turn off videos on Spotify app, applicable to both music and podcasts. This update is set to be available worldwide, across all platforms and devices, providing users with greater control over their listening experience.
Enhanced Control for Families and Individuals
The new controls will enable managers of Family Plans to limit video content for all members subscribed to the plan, ensuring a more tailored experience for each user. On individual accounts, users can access these settings under the “Content and display” section on mobile devices or the “Display” section on desktop. Although the update has not been rolled out to all accounts yet, it promises to offer a more personalized experience for Spotify users in the Middle East and globally.
Expanded Video Options
Prior to this update, users could only disable Canvas clips, the short, looping videos introduced by Spotify in 2019. Now, an additional toggle has been added, allowing users to disable access to music videos and other video content. This move reflects Spotify’s commitment to providing users with more control over their app experience, recognizing the diverse preferences of its global user base, including those in the UAE and beyond.
With these new controls, Spotify aims to enhance user satisfaction by offering more choices regarding video content. As the update becomes available to all users, it will be interesting to see how this feature impacts the overall user experience.
