Spotify has officially launched its new Partner Program, enabling popular podcast hosts to monetize their video content. Available in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia, this initiative allows creators to earn additional income through video payouts beyond traditional advertising. Over 65% of eligible shows have already enrolled, enhancing Spotify's video podcast library to compete with YouTube. Additionally, Premium users can now watch video podcasts ad-free, and a new tool called Podcast Clips aims to help creators promote their shows more effectively.
