Spotify

Stream music and podcasts in style on your TV

Spotify for TV brings the familiar streaming experience to the big screen, turning your living room into a full-fledged audio hub. Once you’re signed in, your library, playlists, and recommendations are laid out in a clean, card-based interface that looks great from the sofa, with large cover art and artist images that really benefit from TV-sized displays.

Navigation is simple and responsive using the TV remote. You can browse by artists, albums, songs, playlists, or jump into curated mixes and podcast series. The app keeps the same logic as the phone and desktop versions, so regular Spotify users will feel instantly at home.

One of the standout features is integration with Spotify Connect. You can use your phone or tablet as a remote control, queuing songs, adjusting volume, or switching playback between devices without stopping the music. This makes it much easier to search and manage long playlists than relying solely on the TV remote.

Audio quality is solid, and Premium users will appreciate the ad-free listening and higher-quality streams, which really shine through decent TV speakers or a connected sound system. Free users can still enjoy the service with the usual ad breaks and some limitations on skipping.

There are a few caveats. Text input with only the TV remote can feel sluggish when searching for specific tracks or niche podcasts, and some advanced features available on other platforms—such as in-depth playlist editing or certain discovery tools—are more limited here.

Overall, Spotify for TV is an excellent companion for parties, background listening, or immersive podcast sessions on the couch. If you already use Spotify elsewhere, this version extends your experience seamlessly to the biggest screen in your home.
