My Question or Issue

I would like to have the option to disable videos. I do not watch them,  and from what I have read, they really increase the environmental footprint of streaming.

Could this be done?

Hi there @roosterette,


Thanks for reaching out about this in the Community!

 

Are you talking about Podcast video or the short plips that some songs have?

 

Video for podcasts can be disabled from the settings menu on Mobile, just turn on Audio-Only podcasts. Alternatively you can download podcast episodes for offline listening. This way only audio will be saved and no videos. There is currently no way to disable the Video on Desktop.

 

If you're talking about the small video clips played on top of some songs you can disable that by turning off Canvas from the settings.

 

Hope you find this info useful. Don't hesitate to reach out again if you have more questions.
