[Mobile] Disable Video Loop Cover Art

Besides personally disliking the fullscreen video loops as cover art, I've also noticed they sometimes crash the app. 

I'd welcome the option to disable them and choose for static cover art images only.

Hey folks,

 

Thanks for adding your vote to this idea.

 

You can now disable these videos by turning off 'Canvas' under your settings. 

 

Thanks!

The videos doesn't appear if data saver is enabled...

Great, but by doing that (enabling the data saver) it says that you set your
music quality to low. Who wants low quality music?!

I don't mind if it's disable or just fix the bug that flipping through the songs doesn't work when there is a video cover for one of the songs in the middle.

Totally agree, very distracting!!! Just give us the option to turn them off. And please don’t turn spotify into youtube😭😂

Yes, please at least give me the option to shut off the annoying videos.  I pay so as not to have to endure such irritations.  Fix it, or risk paying customers like me to find alternatives.

Please add a disable all video features. I PAID Spotify for music. I DO NOT want video. My battery drains at an extreme rate even with a 4,200 mAh Battery, my data plan suffers, and I gain worthless videos that make the app hard to use. You've just made me consider dropping you all together and using Amazon Music again. 2 weeks, that's all you get from me if it's not fixed.

Amen!

'Disable Video' button wanted please. NOW🤗

Pointless feature. The looped video has no quality or use whatsoever.

It only removes the play queue edit button, which is one of my most-used features.
Now I have to put on a song that doesnt have video to be able to edit running playlists.

 

This is super annoying. Remove this or give us an option to disable..

 

 

Also - sidebar:
ANY such changes should just come with an option to disable. That Software Design 101.
If its not mandatory for the app to function, its by definition optional - and optional things should have a button to turn them off - simple as that.

Great poat! I hope that Spotify listens before we leave.
