Spotify has rolled out new video controls for all users worldwide, and it is an update worth knowing about.
Starting this month, every Spotify user, Free or Premium, can now turn video content on or off directly from Settings > Content and Display. You can toggle Canvas visuals and podcast videos separately, and your preferences automatically sync across all devices.
Family Plan managers get an extra benefit: they can now control video settings for any member under their subscription, not just accounts for users under 13.
The move reflects growing demand for more personalised listening. A recent survey of 8,400 users across 19 markets found that 93% of Spotify listeners want greater control over their experience — and the platform is clearly listening.
Note that video ads will still appear regardless of your settings.
It is a small but meaningful change that makes Spotify work better for everyone, whether you prefer a clean audio experience or a visually rich one.
