Disable "switch to video" functionality

Hi, is it possible to disable the "Switch to video" button? I want my son to only listen music without looking to videos

Hey @PS80PZ,

Thanks for reaching out 🙂
Such an option is unfortunately not yet available, however, we do have an active idea about it on the forum!
Feel free to leave your vote for it and share it around. The more votes it gathers - the better its chances for a quicker implementation.

We're here for you in case there's anything else in the meantime. Cheers!

Yes I would like to same option please. Not all video content is suitable for all ages and should be something you can turn off

Spotify needs to listen to its subscribers and what they want. Bu simply putting a disable video button on their family account, it keeps children safe from watching inappropriate videos

Please put an option to disable "switch to video', as we are having the same problem . Not all content in video is appropriate.

It’s been 18 months, almost 3,000 upvotes, can you please implement this and make your loyal members happy? Or at least give an update as to why there has been no progress in over a year. As parents it’s driving us mad and is an easy fix. Thanks!

upvote, let us define how we want to listen to music!
These Videos are annoying, keep focus on music instead of video.
