Spotify Launches Video E Learning Courses In The Uk
Accessible via both web and mobile app, the content spans various subjects, including music production and Excel tutorials, designed to cater to users’ diverse interests.
Mohit Jitani, Spotify’s London-based product director, emphasizes the trial’s goal to gauge user demand before broader implementation. The company intends to refine its pricing and content strategy based on initial feedback.
Spotify’s educational content, positioned to compete with platforms like YouTube and LinkedIn Learning, focuses on one-way video instruction without immediate plans for interactive elements or gamification.
Revenue from course sales will be shared between Spotify, content creators, and publishers, with details of the distribution undisclosed. This move is part of Spotify’s broader strategy to diversify its offerings and achieve sustained profitability.
The choice of the UK for the launch reflects its significance as a key market for Spotify, underscored by the company’s ongoing efforts to explore new content domains beyond music and podcasts.
