Spotify is launching its beta music videos feature to Premium subscribers in the US and Canada today, over a year after it rolled out to Premium users in other regions.
If you have a Spotify Premium subscription, you should now begin seeing an option to “Switch to video” on some tracks on the iOS, Android, desktop, or TV Spotify apps. When you tap “Switch to video,” the song’s accompanying music video will pick up right where the audio left off, and vice versa when you tap “Switch to audio” to hide the music video.

The feature is currently limited to songs by specific artists, including Ariana Grande, Olivia Dean, Babymonster, Addison Rae, Tyler Childers, Natanael Cano, and Carín León.
There will also be a “Related Music Videos” section that replaces the “Lyrics” section when you’re in video mode. Here you can browse through more videos, like YouTube or TikTok but only with artist-created content.
