Spotify has announced that its podcasting platforms — Spotify for Creators and Megaphone — are adopting Apple's technology for video streaming, HTTP Live Streaming (HLS). Apple shared in February that it was adding support for HLS to its own Apple Podcasts app with the release of iOS 26.4, so Spotify hopping aboard means that formerly Spotify-exclusive video podcasts can be distributed to Apple's app.
