Video ads on Spotify are served to ad-supported listeners on mobile or desktop when the Spotify app is in focus. Your video is served to either in-stream during commercial ad breaks or in-feed alongside native content as users browse the app. It includes a clickable companion image and the call-to-action of your choice. You can upload assets to the asset library by clicking Upload file or drag-and-drop the assets to the uploading area.

 

On desktop devices, your companion image is shown alongside your video ad. On mobile devices, it will be displayed on the lock screen if a listener locks their device while your video ad is playing.
