My Question or Issue:

More of a suggestion.. I’d love to see Spotify add an Ambient Visual Mode for TVs and game consoles.
When listening on a TV, many of us want a beautiful, relaxing image on the screen instead of a static Spotify interface. Right now, the only workaround is to play a nature video on another app like YouTube, but that often means dealing with ads, video audio, interruptions, or juggling multiple apps.
Imagine being able to choose from a library of high-quality scenes (static or animated) directly within Spotify, such as:

Ocean waves/ Beach scenes
Forests
Fireplaces
Skylines
Seasonal scenes

(Just to name a few)

I believe this would create a more immersive, relaxing experience without ads, interruptions, or switching to YouTube. Optional subtle animation, 4K HDR support, and mood-based themes could make it even better. This would be ideal for hosting gatherings/events or even just background music at home. Most importantly, it would turn Spotify into an ambient experience, indulging not just the sense of sound but visually pleasing to enhance music listening and make the app feel more at home on living-room screens.
