Canvas is a feature on Spotify where artists can upload an eight-second looping video, seen when a user is listening to your song. Normally this is animated artwork or a clip from a music video.
Whilst the feature is still not available to all artists (currently it is random selection) this is a good sign that Spotify are looking to expand the features usage across their platform.
Spotify’s announcement states that “there will be no audio on the share” and the view of your canvas on socials will show up as a ‘view’ in your Spotify for Artists, not a stream.
