Hey everyone, I’ve noticed something weird on Spotify lately. There’s this short video clip that plays before the actual song starts. It’s like a mini intro or something. Is anyone else seeing this? I’m using the latest version of the app on my phone. At first I thought it was a glitch, but it keeps happening with different songs. Does anyone know if this is a new feature or what’s going on? It’s kind of annoying because I just want to listen to my music without these random clips. Any info would be really helpful. Thanks!
I’ve been noticing those video clips too, and I have to say, they’re quite the mixed bag. At first, I found them jarring and disruptive to my listening experience. But after a while, I started to appreciate some of them, especially for artists I really enjoy. It’s like getting a little behind-the-scenes peek or extra content.
That being said, I can see how they might be frustrating if you’re just trying to get your music fix. I did some digging in the app settings and found an option to disable them under ‘Playback’ if you’re not a fan. Personally, I’ve left them on for now, but I’m still on the fence about whether I’ll keep them long-term.
It’s interesting to see how streaming platforms are evolving to offer more than just audio. I wonder if this is Spotify’s way of competing with music videos on YouTube or visual albums on Apple Music. Curious to see how this feature develops over time.
I’ve encountered these clips as well. They’re part of Spotify’s new ‘Canvas’ feature, which allows artists to add short looping visuals to their tracks. While it can be interesting for some songs, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. If you find it distracting, you can disable it in the app settings under ‘Playback’. Look for the ‘Canvas’ toggle and switch it off. This should return your listening experience to audio-only. Spotify’s likely trying to enhance user engagement, but it’s good they’ve provided an option to opt out. Personally, I prefer a clean, uninterrupted audio experience, so I’ve turned it off on my devices.
yeah, i’ve seen those too. pretty sure it’s spotify’s new thing called ‘clips’ - like mini music videos before songs. some artists are using em to promote their music. kinda cool but can be annoying if you’re not into it. think there’s a way to turn it off in settings somewhere if it bugs you too much.
