Turn off autoplay videos

[StoneD_Baphomet]

Setting option where i can DISABLE videos.
I pay spotify premium for music / no ads! Since this s**t att where video become avaiable, it starts automatically. 
I searched trought setting and didnt find a way to turn'em off.

One specific scenario, podcasts. 99% the podcast I listen, are from YT. If i DO WANT to see video, i go for yt, since im on AUDIO APP thats what i want, not video! And i hate the fact it autoplay everytime!

I need the setting option to disable videos ASAP. (Then if u want video i mannualy turn on, not the oposite)

I can easily get headaches/migranes/vertigo. I find autoplaying stuff very challenging because it spins me out.

Please add feature to disable podcast video regardless of if device is on cellular data or WiFi.  Thanks.

I want to be able to disable podcast video play with my phone connected to wifi. The video distracts me, I would like to not see it without having to block my phone.

That's exactly what I need. I'm ok for my kids to listen to music on Spotify while reading but not to use the account to binge watch videos the whole day. I'm about to restrict their usage of Spotify for this very reason so please give me the option !

My TV stops playback and needs to buffer if a video is playing.

To disable videos I have to manually switch to music playback when a video is playing this settings stays until I reboot the device.

If the first song in a playlist has no video I have to first skip to a song with video, switch to music and go back to the song I want to start.

I would like to have an option to permanently disable videos on TV so I don't have to do it every time I start a Playlist.

I wonder what **bleep** decided it was a good idea to play "music videos" and not even provide a way to turn the feature off. It makes Spotify UNUSABLE on Android TV. Video playback causes audio interruptions in the middle of songs when the video needs buffering. FFS, I am listening to music, not watching MTV! This TOTALLY RUINS the whole listening experience. Secondly, the videos consumes a lot of BW that I am paying for that I do not want to use for stupid music videos.

@Spotify: Get your act together and fix this.
