Spotify finally adds a video toggle

Spotify’s "Audio-First" Update: How to Turn Off All Videos | Reclaiming Your Screen

Are you tired of your music app looking like TikTok? As of April 10, 2026, Spotify is finally giving everyone the "off" switch we’ve been asking for. In today’s episode, we break down yesterday's massive update that introduces universal video toggles for Free, Basic, and Premium users worldwide.
We dive into the new "Videos and Canvas" settings where you can now disable three specific areas: Music Videos, Canvas loops, and "All other videos"—which finally includes video podcasts and vertical artist clips. We also explain the new power for Family Plan managers, who can now turn off video for every member of the plan, not just those under 13. Join us as we discuss if this is a win for digital focus or a sign that the "video-everything" experiment has its limits.
