Spotify brings music videos and video podcasts to Apple TV with a redesigned app

Spotify has rolled out a redesigned app for Apple TV that introduces a new user interface and adds video content types previously available only on mobile and some Android devices. Early adopters reported receiving the update in the last few days, and the company appears to be expanding access gradually.

The update brings music videos and video podcasts directly to the big screen, making it easier to browse and watch visual content from the sofa. The refreshed interface is designed for TV navigation and aims to unify the listening and viewing experience across platforms.

What’s new

• Music videos: Watch official music videos on Apple TV from Spotify’s catalog.
• Video podcasts: Stream video versions of podcasts in a TV‑friendly layout.
• Redesigned UI: A revamped interface optimized for remote control and large screens.
• Staged rollout: Some users received the update early, with wider availability expected over time.

How to get it

To try the new app, check for an update in the App Store on your Apple TV. Availability may be staged by region or account, so if you don’t see the update immediately, keep an eye on the App Store or Spotify’s support pages for rollout notices. Visit Spotify’s site for more info: spotify.com.

Why it matters

Bringing music videos and video podcasts to Apple TV helps Spotify compete with other streaming platforms by offering more visual content on living‑room screens. The change could increase engagement and make Spotify a more complete entertainment hub — especially for users who prefer watching on a TV rather than a phone or tablet.

That said, the rollout raises questions about feature parity (which devices and markets get which content) and how video content will interact with Spotify’s free and premium tiers. Expect more details as the update reaches more users.
