Spotify Clips: Access & FAQ

As of 17 June 2026, Spotify for Artists no longer accepts uploads of new short-form "Clips." Your existing Clips stay live. Spotify has shifted its focus to full-length video and countdown videos.

Written by Jason Wohlstadter

Spotify has stopped accepting new Clips uploads. You can no longer create or upload a Clip in Spotify for Artists. Any Clips you uploaded before still work and remain on your artist profile in the Video tab.

What happens to my existing Clips?

Nothing: they stay live. Previously uploaded Clips continue to appear in the Video tab on your artist profile, just as before.

What can I use instead?

Spotify now offers a few other video options:

  • Full-length videos: Eligible artists can upload full-length videos, including official music videos, live performances, and studio sessions. These are royalty-bearing and chart-eligible. Access is rolling out gradually.

  • Countdown videos: Clips used on eligible Countdown Pages are now called countdown videos. You can still use these to build excitement for an upcoming release.

  • Canvas: The short, looping visual (3–8 seconds, no separate audio) that plays while your song is playing is still available to all artists.
