Spotify Gets Into the Holiday Spirit With Snapchat-Style Stories Trial音乐流媒体平台克雷亚ted a carbon copy of Snapchat and Instagram's Stories feature.

Spotify has jumped on the ephemeral content bandwagon—and just in time for the holidays. The music streaming platform is publicly testing Snapchat-esque Stories, which have appeared for some users (myself included) in the mobile app.

First spotted by self-described "internetainerpreneur"TmarTn on Twitter,最初设在年代短暂的电影potify's "Christmas Hits" playlist. Tap to see the story, and watch artists Ava Max, Meghan Trainor, Kelly Clarkson and Brett Eldredge, Stevie Mackey and Jennifer Lopez, and Pentatonix share the stories behind their latest holiday tunes. (Even "Santa Baby" composer Phil Springer makes an appearance.)

A carbon copy of Snapchat and Instagram's Stories, Spotify's latest experiment lets users tap on the left or right side of the screen to quickly navigate through videos; click the three dots in the lower right corner to report a story.

It's unclear who has access to the feature; I was able to find it using my Premium account and iPhone. There's no word on when (or if) it will be widely available; Spotify did not immediately respond to PCMag's request for comment.

What began as a Snapchat original has permeated social media. Instagram and Facebook launched their own versions in2016and2017, respectively, while professional network LinkedInbegan testinga similar function in September. And it's been less than two weeks sinceTwitter rolled outits own version of Stories, called Fleets.

This isn't even Spotify's first foray into the format.In 2019, it invited some musicians to share insights into their music-making process through a series of 24-hour clips.
