Why did the Canvas feature on Spotify desktop suddenly disappear?

I recently had access to the Canvas feature on the Spotify desktop app, but after two days, it suddenly disappeared. Now, I can no longer see Canvases when listening to music that supports it.

It seems like it hasn’t been fully rolled out yet, right? It was such a fantastic feature, and I really enjoyed using it. Thanks for replying!

I really do hope it makes a return soon! I agree with looniee.... It is an awesome feature on the mobile app but I'm mostly utilizing the desktop version as its all connected to a banging sound system that does not compare to a phone.🤣 Thank you for your help and all man. 🤜🏼🤛🏼

When will this roll out officially? I like this feature, but it's not available on desktops. I mostly use Spotify while working, so it's nice to have it on my desktop as well.

How to enable canvas or clip playback on the desktop version of macOS

Sometimes my desktop version allows me to see a clip of the song (canvas) in the now playing view. But for some strange reason, it stops doing so. I haven't found a way to reactivate the clips, since even in the auxiliary menus you don't see the famous option to switch between the Artworks and Canvas view.

I have tried this on songs that I know play those clips.

Thanks a lot

This just happened to me two days ago. Is it still the same case or is there something I can do on my end.
