Watch Music videos on Spotify | Enable Canvas | Explained

Spotify Premium Apk is nearly beating Google YouTube in its features for allowing to play videos along with music. It was planned a long time ago to add TV shows and music videos into the app, but that didn’t happen. You can only see the videos of music and podcasts in vertical form if they are available. You can also create your podcasts and upload music to Spotify.

Spotify has introduced a new feature to premium users in the beta version, allowing you to see all music videos on TV or YouTube. The new feature will be available for a few artists like Ed-Sheeran, Ice Spice, and Doja Cat and in selected world areas like Poland, Colombia, Philippines, Brazil, Sweden, Indonesia, Kenya, and the Netherlands. It is available on the official iOS, PC, TV, and Android app.  Stick to the article to find out how to watch video on Spotify.
