According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/entertainment\/909099\/spotify-video-controls-music-podcasts-canvas\">The Verge<\/a>, the platform is globally rolling out settings that allow users to disable video content entirely across the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past few years, Spotify has added more visual elements to its platform. These include Canvas clips, music videos, and video podcasts. While these features offer new ways to engage, they are not for everyone. Some listeners prefer a simple, audio-only experience without distractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It appears that this latest update aims to solve that. Spotify is adding new toggles that let users switch off different types of video content. The Verge states that these controls are being rolled out globally and will work across mobile and desktop devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users will be able to turn off Canvas clips, which are the short looping visuals that appear during tracks. Alongside this, there will be a new option to disable music videos. Another setting will go even further, allowing users to switch off all video content, including podcasts and vertical videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These options will appear in the app\u2019s settings. On mobile, they will apparently sit under \u201cContent and display\u201d, while desktop users will find them in the \u201cDisplay\u201d section. The rollout is gradual, so some users may not see the feature immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The update also extends to Family Plan accounts. Plan managers will be able to control video settings for each individual member. As noted in the original report, \u201cThe new controls apply to both individual and family accounts.\u201d This gives households more control over what kind of content can be accessed. Once video playback is disabled at the plan level, users will not be able to switch to video versions of songs or podcasts. This makes it easier to maintain a consistent listening experience across all accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify\u2019s new controls are a simple update, but they give users more choice over how they use the app. As reported by The Verge, listeners can now decide whether they want video content at all, across both music and podcasts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/\">Want your music available on Spotify?
