Podcasts are an essential category for Spotify’s growth ahead. The company already has multiple acquisitions and local projects under its belt. Now, the streaming giant aims to try a hand at the video space with podcasts. If you’re a fan of Joe Rogan, it is most likely that you head to YouTube to enjoy his podcasts. Well, Spotify is testing video podcasts on its platform – both mobile and desktop – in an attempt to rival YouTube.
Also, the podcast episodes with video support background playback. This means you can lock the phone’s screen and continue to listen to your favorite creators. Spotify is trying to push podcasts to the forefront and videos, if they show up in Google Search, can turn out to be the much-needed boost.
