Add "remove video content" option to Spotify Family

[lentil_maps]

Please add an option to "remove video content" to Spotify Family! Since video podcasts were added, my children now watch videos on Spotify instead of listening to music.  I had given them unlimited access to Spotify (unlike other apps) because it was only used for music.  

All you'd have to do is add another toggle for "remove video content" next to "Remove explicit content".

Spotify Kids is not an option for us.  My children are teens and tweens.  And because they're teens and tweens, they have a very difficult time turning off compelling video content (just like some adults).  If Spotify becomes just another screen to stare at, I'm not sure we want to keep our Family membership.

This option is essential for us, as well as for other parents we've spoken about it. The reason the kids get unlimited acces to spotify is that they can just listen to music here. If these videos stay, without option to disable it in the family plan, we will absolutely cancel our subscription.

Fully agree with these folks. Spotify Kids is not a solution. What I want is to give access to music but no video. It’s really simple.

I just discovered my kids can watch videos on Spotify.  We need an audio only option.  This is a serious problem, between TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, FB, the list goes on, so many video apps that distract and become addictive.

This is an absolute necessary feature. This really lets me think about leaving spotify after almost 10 years. Please don't let this happen.

This is an absolute must have. The Spotify Kids app is simply not usable for children over the age of 4. It doesn't even have all the episodes of popular children's radio plays that are available in the normal Spotify app. In addition, the UI/UX design is a single disaster.

This is an absolute must have. My son watches video podcasts without end. In times of screen sharing for various media, it should be clear that such a feature can be turned off.
Please do not refer to the Spotify Kids app now, it is simply not usable for children over the age of 4. It doesn't even have all the episodes of popular children's radio plays that are available in the normal Spotify app. In addition, the UI/UX design is a single disaster.

Urgently needed indeed. After learning that I cannot limit video exposure with a family account I'm starting to look for other streaming providers that do allow that.

I find it very much a pity that Spotify is not implementing this / has not yet implemented this. Should be a simple enough task to add this into a kids account (w/o limiting anything else, just stop videos!)

It is hard to understand why Spotify activates the video function without offering any protection. This could even be against the law in certain countries. Please take your responsibility here so that parents can protect their children. Otherwise, I also see myself forced to change the streaming provider.

No improvement? Will have to cancel the subscription, as my kid discovered video as well.

If we can't have the option to disable video podcasts, we will have to switch to another streaming music service.
