So with that in mind, it’s not necessarily surprising to see Spotify officially add video podcast capabilities. The new support for video podcasts comes on the heels of Spotify’s deal with Joe Rogan, who currently produces one of the most popular video podcasts in the world. If you’re multitasking and switch out of the Spotify app, the audio will continue to play in the background “with no interruption and minimal data usage.” Apple Podcasts also supports video podcasting, with a similar set of features. If you start watching a video podcast in Spotify, the video will automatically sync with the audio feed of the podcast as well. Listeners can tune into podcasts like Book of Basketball 2.0, Fantasy Footballers, The Misfits Podcast, H3 Podcast, The Morning Toast, Higher Learning with Van Lathan & Rachel Lindsay, and The Rooster Teeth Podcast for a visual and audio feast. Video podcasts build upon and enhance our existing audio experience, allowing Free and Premium users to connect more deeply with their favorite podcasts with video content.

It will start rolling out today but is not yet widely available. Spotify says that access to video podcasts is available to Free and Premium users, and is supported in every market were podcasts are also available.

This means that users can now watch video podcasts directly in the Spotify app on mobile and desktop. Spotify continues to ramp up its efforts in the podcasting industry today, announcing that it now supports video podcasts.
