Disable video on podcasts to save data on all platforms

The videos feature is nice to have, but the user should have the option to disable it like we used. As of 8/11/2023, I don't see anyway to disable video streaming while playing a podcast.

Hey @climbhigh77,

On mobile, you'll see the option to disable video podcasts while not listening to them on WiFi under Video Podcasts > Stream audio only (from the mobile device settings).

On desktop, you can either click the X in the video itself or the Show/Hide video button in the lower left corner of the app, next to the title of the currently playing episode 🙂 

Should these options be missing for you, please send us some screenshots of what you're seeing.
We'll gladly take a further look into things!

There really should be an option to simply stream audio only regardless of whether we are connected to wifi or not. Children use these Apps, listen to podcasts and they regularly stream video game violence. Even if you restrict 'explicit' content, it shows. I've checked.
