Like Netflix, Spotify is an international streaming platform but for music and podcasts. In the Spotify app, you can get to listen to more than 50 million songs and thousands of podcasts around the world. Being an international app, you will get songs from all around the world. In addition to smartphones and PCs, the Spotify app is also available for smart TVs. Let’s see how to use the Spotify app on Vizio Smart TV to listen to songs and podcasts.
Sadly, the Spotify app is not available on the Vizio App Store, and you can’t install the app on your Vizio Smart TV. But, all the Vizio Smart TVs are equipped with Chromecast support. With the Spotify smartphone app, you can cast the music file to the smart TV.
