The update appears part of broader product changes aimed at improving usability, though specific dates or platform details aren’t provided.

Spotify is rolling out developer-friendly toggles that let users disable all video content inside the app, including music videos, podcast videos, and other video formats.

If the options aren’t visible immediately, they are expected to roll out to devices in the coming weeks.

Rollout is gradual, so some users may see the controls later in the rollout window.

The new setting can be applied to individual accounts and extended to family plans, giving parents control over video visibility for younger users.

To enable it, users can navigate to Settings, then Content and display, turning Canvas looping visuals or videos on or off, with changes syncing across devices.

The coverage portrays this as a practical move acknowledging that not all engagement-driven features boost user experience, underscoring the value of user feedback in product decisions.

reporting from The Verge and Rowland Manthorpe on X notes an initial regional release not yet universal.

Availability may vary by region and account; users should update the app and check settings in the coming days.

As with regional differences, some accounts may see the controls at different times during the rollout.

The rollout began in April 2026 and is planned to reach all users globally by the end of the month.

The update will be available to all Free, Basic, and Premium accounts by month’s end, with a gradual global rollout.
