Spotify launches music videos for Premium users in select countries،
Spotify is adding a new perk to its Premium service, but only in nearly a dozen countries. The streaming company announcement today, it began rolling out music videos to Premium Spotify users in 11 markets.
The new feature is still in beta, which is probably why Spotify hasn't made music videos available globally. Currently, music videos from a selected catalog are available to Premium users in the following countries: Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Brazil, Colombia, Philippines, Indonesia, Kenya and the United Kingdom.
No matter which platform they use to listen to their favorite music, Premium users can head to their device of choice and select the “Switch to Video” toggle for supported music tracks. The video clip should immediately start playing from the beginning in Now Playing view.
Very often, in my own experience and countless others, music videos play a key role in hooking you in: taking you from being a listener to leaning in and becoming a fan. They're an important part of many artists' toolkits, and it's natural for them to live in the same place that more than half a billion people choose to listen to music.
Spotify also implemented the ability to watch music videos in full screen by rotating a phone/tablet to watch them in landscape mode. When you're ready to return to background listening, you can tap “Switch to Audio.”
According to Spotify, this music video beta features a limited catalog of hits from global artists like Ed Sheeran, Doja Cat and Ice Spice, as well as local favorites like Aluna and Asake.
