Spotify’s going Visual!!
Spotify’s bored of just having you use your ears on their service, now they’re infiltrating your eyes too! A new video streaming service is said to be ‘starting this week’
The Wall Streey Journal says that video content will be available on Android apps “starting this week”, while those using iOS will have the service “by the end of next week”
Apparently dropping in the UK, US, Germany and Sweden, and the first wave of content will be provided by the likes of “ESPN, Comedy Central, the BBC, Vice Media and Maker Studios”.
Videos will be “contextually relevant” based on the kinds of music you listen to.
As well as short playlists of video content neatly packaged up to watch, types of videos will be more short form like “News of the Week” or “Laughs at Lunch”.
