[All Platforms] Add visuals (or upload) for desktop and TV

I think it would be awesome to add a visuals feature, for Desktop and TV players (Roku). Some times I just don't want to see the menu while I'm listening  music, to delve into the full experience of what you want to hear, visuals reenforce it and if you have the chance to customize what you watch while listing to music, it only amplifies the experience, a whole no perspective of audiovisuals. 

With an "on and off " button if the listener wants to use it or not.

I hope this is being actively worked on

Agreed! I think it should be available across all platforms, but audio visualuzers on TVs at the very least.

Still waiting for this. We had in MP3 apps 20yrs ago. I ofte use Spotify on a PC that is dedicated to providing input to a TV and audio system and having visual animation in response to music will make the app a lot more appealing for mood setting on the big screen.

This would be great, Spotify team! There is a micro-visualizer on the iphone's dynamic island, so we know you have the API for it.

Hi there! Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and something that I have really fond memories of is when my best friend and I would hang out in her computer room, put on our favorite Hilary Duff album, and turn on the iTunes visualizer where we could watch the colors and patterns change across the screen to the beat of the music. It made listening to music a visual experience which was incredible, magical, and honestly just tons of fun. I think it could be amazing if Spotify could have a music visualizer option. I think this would be great for parties (screen sharing and putting the visualizer up on the screen), teaching (I am a teacher and play music for my students and I think it could be nice to put a visualizer up while they listen and work on assignments), and even if you're just wanting to listen to music at home and you could put the visualizer on your screen to prevent distraction from other stuff. Thank you for your consideration of this idea!

I like this idea and have been trying to find an app out there that can play a visual that fits the vibe of the music on Spotify. Strangely, some songs have snippets of music videos in the background. Listening to music with an ongoing visual in the background would be cool. How, YouTube has Lofi Girl, and HBO Max has Ambient Swim.

Yep, I have OLED now so I would prefer anything moving to keep the screen refreshing. I figured they must have it but I never enabled it, so I wound up here. Now what?

Implementation of ai to generate shapes, colours etcetera, to visualise the audio of the music, doing this will make an aestheticly pleasing display to capture the essence of the music that listeners love. This would make an exceptionally great alternative to just having the song titles with a basic light wash.

Spotify should include a music visualisation feature so that we can enjoy the music visually at rythm

Hello dionysus here I have been a premium user for 3 years now and I would like to propose an idea. A music visualizer. Like the one you find on the old Xbox 360. Images and shapes  that move to the music.i think you will get more people interested in spotify and as an added bonus  you would attract more companyes and businesses using it in there lobby and such. Contact  me through  the app if you want more ideas or details about the visualizer thanks  for letting
