Spotify’s New Educational Feature Offers Video-Based Courses for UK Users

Spotify is currently testing a new feature with UK users that offers video-based courses on various topics such as music creation, business, and healthy living. The platform already provides access to music, podcasts, and audiobooks, with new subscription options like audiobooks in the United States. They are now exploring the introduction of video content, such as adding music videos for songs in the Premium version of Spotify.

The new feature includes video-based courses from educational technology companies like BBC Maestro, PLAYvirtuoso, Skillshare, and Thinkific. These courses cover topics in music, creativity, business, and health. Users can access two free lessons per course during the test period, with the option to purchase full access to all lessons on the platform’s website.

Courses will be available in the Home and Browse tabs, where users can explore different categories and purchase courses for full access on both desktop and mobile. Spotify is aiming to offer educational creators a new audience for their video content and has highlighted the popular consumption of podcasts with educational topics among Spotify Premium subscribers.

Overall, this expansion of content options allows users to explore different topics and enhance their skills in a convenient and accessible way. By partnering with educational technology companies, Spotify is working to offer a diverse range of content to its users
