Go to Music, open the song, and the Canvas option is there, on both the app and the web dashboard."},{question:"Can I add a Spotify Canvas from my phone?",answer:"Yes. The Spotify for Artists app on iOS and Android has the Canvas option, and artists.spotify.com works from any browser."},{question:"Why is my Spotify Canvas not showing?",answer:"Usually it has not processed yet (allow up to a day), you are checking on desktop where Canvas never shows, the listener has Canvas turned off in Playback settings, or the file failed the 9:16 and 3 to 8 second spec."},{question:"Why can’t I see the Canvas option in Spotify for Artists?",answer:"Only a verified artist or a team member with the right access can set a Canvas.

Check on the Now Playing screen in the Spotify mobile app before changing anything."},{question:"What size and length does a Spotify Canvas need to be?",answer:"A 9:16 vertical video between 3 and 8 seconds. Any audio in the file is ignored, and Spotify rejects files outside the ratio or length."},{question:"How do I turn on Spotify Canvas?",answer:"In the Spotify app go to Settings, then Playback, and switch on Canvas. That toggle only affects what you see; your Canvas stays live for every listener who has it on."},{question:"Can I change or remove my Spotify Canvas later?",answer:"Yes. Go back to the track in Spotify for Artists and upload a new clip or remove the current one. Many artists refresh the Canvas when a track gets a new push."},{question:"Do I need a separate Canvas for every song?",answer:"Yes, each track has its own Canvas, so one upload covers one song. The same session can make one per release."},{question:"How do I make a Spotify Canvas if I don’t have a video?",answer:"Upload your cover art or a photo of you and the track to ".concat(a,", pick a style, and trim the portrait export to 5 to 8 seconds.
