My Spotify podcast experience is video-free. Is there some special mode I need to enable?

probably depends on if the podcast actually has a video component? Breaking Points for example is a podcast with video

I used to give my kids unlimited access to Spotify, so that they could listen to music whenever they wanted to.

Had to stop that when I discovered that they were watching videos in app. There’s no way to disable it. Considering switching to Apple Music as a result. Such a self-own from Spotify.

Or boycott Spotify AND Apple for their complicity in genocides & pick a different platform altogether. https://soundiiz.com made it super easy to migrate away from Spotify to any platform of your choosing. I chose Deezer & I'm so happy I did. I enjoy the experience so much more than what Spotify has become.

From what I can gather it is supposed to be music videos and it is not available in the US, only 11 other select markets. You also have to be a premium user, i think.

About half the podcasts in my “for you” screen have a video feed on them now, if you’re using the app you should see them. I’m not sure how you find top charts though. My app is stuffed with recommendations but no “top charts”

Just make the break to Apple Music. Apple is far less bad than Spotify in our current “what platforms are worse for society” cage match.

News: there's porn on Spotify

Dare: do I need to do an app update or what?
