My Question or Issue

Who in the utter raas thought it was a good idea to put ‘Video Available’ next to the artist name in the iOS media player. Pointless and ugly and desperate. I’m on the Lock Screen - I’m playing music with my screen off. I don’t want to watch a video. Please release the statistics showing this increased video playback, why is that even important for Spotify ??!

Hi there @saucyg!

Thanks for reaching out.

Spotify often tests improvements and new features for its content, which means you might see something on the app your friend doesn't, or get a new feature to try temporarily. You can read more about this here.

Hope this clears things up!

Hello I noticed it now says “video available” next to the artist name in both the lock screen on iphone and in carplay? What is the reason behind this as it makes no sense?
