Spotify is adding a new perk to its Premium service, but only in nearly a dozen countries. The streaming companydidn’t make music videos available worldwide. For now, music videos from a select catalog are available for Premium users in the following countries: Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Brazil, Colombia, Philippines, Indonesia, Kenya, and the United Kingdom.
Regardless of what platform they use to listen to their favorite music, Premium users can head to their device of choice and select the “Switch to Video” toggle for supported music tracks. The music video should immediately start playing from the beginning within the Now Playing view. So many times in my own experience and for countless others, music videos play a key role in hooking you: taking you from being a listener to leaning in and becoming a fan. They’re an important part of so many artists’ tool kits, and it’s a natural fit for them to live in the same place that more than half a billion people choose to listen to music.
