Songs keep switching to video mode when I only want to listen to them

[#1]

I pressed the switch to video button and then moved back but now songs default on the video view when I don’t want it to. How do I stop this from happening?

I have the opposite problem. I want to keep seeing videos but Spotify reverts to audio-only after every song.

Hi there @fnkr,

Thanks for reaching out!

I'm afraid this is the current expected behavior. At Spotify, we're often testing and launching improvements to the app and your feedback on this is important, thanks for sharing it here - we appreciate it! You can also share your opinion on this in this thread here.

Take care.

I also want to be able to toggle this, its annoying having to click the smallest ever piece of text I've ever seen.to keep showing videos on supported tracks 😣

This is a link to blocking explicit content and it’s in Portuguese. Not sure if the page has been migrated or if you posted the wrong page.

when this is going to be fixed?

Currently trying to listen to music and constantly getting songs switch to video mode. There is an obvious audio quality difference when playing through videos - obvious different audio tracks.

This is a dealbreaker – I am trying to listen to records, but video masters are being forcibly delivered to my device (mobile).

Me too, I just want to see the videos while I am training… but it switches to audio (not all the time) zz

I do not appreciate the unasked for showing of the video of a podcast I am listening to. How do I switch it off???

Totally agree, this is going to become a deal breaker.

When I switch from video to audio, I get the message 'we will only play audio from now on', but when I start spotify again, it still plays the videos when available.
Just now I switched to audio, I received the same message 'audio from now on', the very next track it played the video again!!!
Please Spotify, deal with this.
I want my account to default to Audio Only all the time. Often the Video versions have stupid dialogue and extra sound effects that suit the Music Video, which would be fine if I was watching the videos, but I just want to listen to music.
And the transition between tracks that do not have a video to ones that do have a video is awful. It cuts the last 10 seconds off the end of the song.
