Netflix currently has two channels exploring new video formats: Kids Clips and Quick Laughter. According to TechCrunch, Spotify is testing a new TikTok-style video stream in its iOS beta system, which will display a full-screen video clip while playing a song. Spotify Discover is a new test feature in the iOS app that supports direct streaming of video streaming, which is defined as the standard version of the TikTok style feed. This feature will allow artists to post live videos of their songs and make it easier for listeners to discover new songs. A new feature of Spotify Discover was discovered by Chris Messina in the latest beta of the iOS TestFlight music app.

A Spotify spokesman confirmed the existence of this feature in a statement to TechCrunch (previous). Discovery Channel seems to be built on the existing Spotify Canvas feature, and artists can play their videos and music on the service. According to a video provided by Messina, the video played on vertical feed is an artist video available from Canvas, which is part of Spotify that allows artists to create music videos on the Spotify app. Messina discovered this feature in Spotify's version of TestFlight (iOS beta). Click the new icon in the navigation toolbar, and you can directly insert the video stream after a click.

In addition to scrolling, there is also a "Like" button and another checklist for this song. Spotify users can enjoy individual tracks while scrolling through the video stream, and there will be a three-dot icon to display options for each song.

It is not yet known what he will do after leaving the post. However, this feature may not be established, as there are problems Spotify has tested creators in the past. Spotify has yet to go through the official release of TikTok-style video streaming, and time will tell that the feature is out of beta and available to its 381 million active users.

If this happens, Apple may add similar features to its music streaming service. Spotify is not the first TikTok-style video streaming system. This feature will also separate Spotify from its main rival, Apple Music, as it has no video streaming component. A few artists have taken direct music videos before. According to some users, Spotify checks the feature for finding music on specific channels, and you can watch videos by scrolling through channels. Building on the existing Canvas feature, the new discovery feature utilizes existing videos played by artists through their music on Spotify.

The company has confirmed that it is currently testing a new feature in its Discover app, which includes a vertical feed of music videos that users can scroll through and choose to like or skip. For users who do not have access to this feature, it will appear as a fourth tab in the navigation bar under the Spotify app, between the home page and the search. For those who can access it, a new tab will appear between the search and home tabs in the Spotify iPhone app.

TechCrunch reports that the Spotify iOS beta app has a new "find" section on the lower navigation bar, video, and music feed. Music streaming apps should check out new acquisition channels, which will help users discover new music through TikTok-style video streaming. Spotify is becoming the latest company to emulate TikTok features and is exploring the streaming of live music videos accessed with a new tab called "Find Yourself." Spotify checks Tiktok-style vertical feed that will stream music videos and is called "discovery" in its mobile app.

This may seem like an attempt to make TikTok, but in reality, Spotify has recently announced its intentions for working with videos. Spotify could enter the live video market, reportedly in beta, looking for a scroll clip to match the music streaming catalog after seeing many apps like Instagram and YouTube play TikToks style with short live video streaming. The province other technology companies want to emulate, including Spotify - looks like a music streaming service is testing a feature that includes direct video streaming.

TechCrunch, which first appeared in the Spotify trial conducted by engineer Chris Messina, has confirmed that the music broadcaster is testing live video feeds with a dedicated tab called Discover. Spotify Discover navigation seems to work in the same way as TikTok, allowing users to scroll up and down videos. Spotify Discover navigation works similarly to TikTok, allowing users to scroll through videos. It’s certainly not a real feature, but it’s easy to see if users looking for something new to listen to can get addicted as they explore new tracks and videos.

Based on popularity, a few apps have embraced the concept of direct scrolling of TikTok short videos. Since TikTok, a few major technology companies have supported the short video platform. TikTok has started a short video stream based on smart algorithms to keep users connected locally. Social media platforms including Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, etc., were no time in applying its features in the form of an endless loop of short, straightforward videos.

It has some music videos that users can quickly swipe to, like the TikToks interface. It is not yet clear whether this feature is intended for standard releases or tests that may be added to the main application.

This feature was spotted on Spotify's latest iOS TestFlight beta by Chris Messina, who wrote on Twitter that it appeared as the fourth icon in the iOS Spotify toolbar. The Discover feature appears to be a "released version" of TikTok-style music video, he said. Considering Spotify is a music streaming platform and not a social media platform.
