Following previous improvements to podcasts (including Top and Trending Podcast charts), Spotify is now introducing video podcasts to complement audio podcasts.
How to Watch Video Podcasts on Spotify
Seeing is believing: Spotify is calling this the “first iteration” of its video podcast efforts, which only supports certain podcasts — The Misfits Podcast, The Morning Toast and The Rooster Teeth Podcast, for example — but is available to all free and Premium subscribers.
What Spotify says: "Many podcast fans enjoy watching their favorite podcasts as much as they enjoy listening to them. These visuals help fans get to know their favorite podcast hosts even better and help creators connect more deeply with their audience."
How video podcasts work: To watch a video podcast, simply find the podcast and select play. The video will start automatically, syncing with the audio. (Thankfully!) And best of all, if you choose to open another app or browser tab or lock your device, the podcast will continue uninterrupted. You can also download the audio version as you normally would.
