My Question or Issue

Hey, I'm trying to watch some podcasts but when I hit play It plays as audio only. I tried changing to web or other devices and I managed to make it work once on an iphone but never again. Also I tried multiple solutions like turning stream audio only off, logging in and out, disabling battery saver and data saver nothing seems to work so far.

This issue is going on for awhile now so I would appreciate if you could help.

Hi @Hossambarakat ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Spotify Community,

Videos open automatically if the song or podcast includes one and is available in the region by the podcast provider. 

In any other case make sure the setting is as below -

1. Tap Data Saver and make sure it's set to Off.

2. On that same screen, under Video podcasts, ensure that these two options are turned off: Download audio only and Stream audio only.

I have tried that solution but unfortunately the same problem remains.

Hi,

Thank you for checking the same, video play automatically if included with the podcast provider host, in this case the same might not be available in the region by the podcast provider.
