Spotify said its music video beta reached all Premium subscribers in the U.S. and Canada by Dec. 10, 2025, giving them access to an initially limited catalog of official videos, live performances and covers.
The company announced the expansion on Dec. 9, initially setting the end of December as the deadline for availability to all Premium subscribers in both countries. Its update the following day confirmed that the rollout was complete.
Spotify says subscribers can select “Switch to video” on supported tracks in its iOS, Android, desktop and TV apps. The video picks up at the corresponding point in the song, and listeners can return to audio by selecting “Switch to audio.”
The expansion follows an earlier international rollout. In October 2024, Spotify announced that it was adding 85 markets to the 12 already covered by the beta, bringing the total to 97.
Lossless audio rollout completed in October
The video expansion comes after Spotify’s rollout of lossless audio to Premium subscribers. Spotify began introducing Lossless on Sept. 10, 2025. In an Oct. 6 update, the company said the feature was available in more than 50 markets; an Oct. 8 announcement said it had reached all eligible markets.
Spotify says Lossless supports audio at up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz in FLAC format across nearly every song in its catalog. The feature is available on mobile, desktop and tablet, along with compatible devices using Spotify Connect.
Subscribers must enable Lossless manually on each device, with separate quality settings for Wi-Fi, cellular streaming and downloads. Spotify recommends wired headphones or speakers using a non-Bluetooth connection, such as Spotify Connect, and cautions that Bluetooth transmission compresses the audio signal. Lossless files also use more data than compressed streams.
Apple Music’s earlier audio and video features
Apple announced lossless audio for Apple Music in May 2021, saying it would become available that June at no additional subscription cost. Its announcement specified a Lossless tier supporting up to 24-bit/48 kHz and Hi-Resolution Lossless supporting up to 24-bit/192 kHz. Apple said Hi-Resolution Lossless requires external equipment, such as a USB digital-to-analog converter.
Music videos also predate Spotify’s beta on Apple Music. Apple’s March 2018 announcement for iOS 11.3 described ad-free music video streaming and music video playlists on the service.
