Why did the Canvas feature on Spotify desktop suddenly disappear?

[looniee]

I recently had access to the Canvas feature on the Spotify desktop app, but after two days, it suddenly disappeared. Now, I can no longer see Canvases when listening to music that supports it.

Ye I would like to know the answer to this question too as it is the reason why i joined the community page. What happened to the CANVAS feature for the desktop app?????

Hey folks,

Welcome to the Spotify Community!

Sounds like you got to try one of the features our tech folks are working on.

At Spotify, we're often testing and launching improvements to the app. This means you might occasionally see something your friend doesn’t, or get a new feature to try temporarily.

Your feedback on this is important, thanks for sharing it here - we appreciate it.

The Community is just a post away in case something else comes up.

Cheers 💚

It seems like it hasn’t been fully rolled out yet, right? It was such a fantastic feature, and I really enjoyed using it. Thanks for replying!

I really do hope it makes a return soon! I agree with looniee....  It is an awesome feature on the mobile app but I'm mostly utilizing the desktop version as its all connected to a banging sound system that does not compare to a phone.🤣 Thank you for your help and all man. 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Yes! Thanks mate!! 💪💪

I love it. Please, make it real!
Also really waiting for your AI DJ. Would love to listen some chatting between tracks.

without a canvas feature it's boring, no clip were playing while i'm vibing to music

[looniee]

Agreed!

When will this roll out officially? I like this feature, but it's not available on desktops. I mostly use Spotify while working, so it's nice to have it on my desktop as well.

Sometimes my desktop version allows me to see a clip of the song (canvas) in the now playing view. But for some strange reason, it stops doing so. I haven't found a way to reactivate the clips, since even in the auxiliary menus you don't see the famous option to switch between the Artworks and Canvas view.

I have tried this on songs that I know play those clips.

Thanks a lot
