Premium users in the UK and ten other countries can now watch music videos from artists including Ed Sheeran and Ice Spice.

But American music fans will have to wait for now.

A new ‘Switch to Video’ button will appear on songs with an associated clip to watch.

Users can rotate their smartphone into landscape mode to enjoy videos in full screen.

Spotify is the world’s most popular music streaming service with more than 236 million subscribers.

Fans have welcomed the announcement, saying, “You can finally watch music videos on Spotify!”

Another said: “Amazing, takes me back to the good old days with MTV.”

A third wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Music videos definitely add a new dimension.

“While it’s similar to YouTube Music, I’m curious to see how you integrate them into the platform.”

Finally!’ say Spotify members are Apple Music’s tempting ‘SongShift’ perk, where switching playlists promises to stop them

How to watch music videos on Spotify

The ability to watch music videos on Spotify is currently in beta, meaning the app giant is still testing.

It will initially be rolled out to 11 countries, namely:

While it’s rolling out, you may not immediately see the option in your Spotify account.

And it only works on songs that have video music uploaded – it will take a while before all music videos are available.

If a song has a music video, you’ll see a “Switch to Video” toggle.

You can go back to audio only by tapping the ‘Switch to Audio’ button that appears.

The feature works on eligible accounts via iOS, Android, desktop or TV device.
