SPOTIFY TO LAUNCH VIDEO CONTENT

Spotify had previously promised it would introduce video content to its service and it’s now expected to launch in the US this week.

This is a very natural next move for (music) streaming giants Spotify, the addition of video content is a direct consequence of Youtube becoming more and more a threat to Spotify.

Video content will initially be available only on Android devices, with iOS support to be added by the end of next week, the first week of February. The service will be available only in the US to start with, but plans to distribute content to the UK, Germany and Sweden are in the pipeline. Video content will be available only on the mobile apps and not the web player or desktop apps.
