Spotify has partnered with Genius to carry the video series Open Mic and Verified, continuing the streaming platform’s expansion into video.

The agreement follows last week’s exclusive premiere of Noah Kahan‘s “Orbiter” music video on Spotify.

Full episodes of Open Mic, Genius’ live performance series, are now available on Spotify. After an initial rollout of Verified, Spotify will add a backlog of older episodes from the artist-led lyric breakdown series alongside new releases.

  • Open Mic: new episodes Thursdays at 11 a.m. ET
  • Verified: new episodes Wednesdays and Fridays at 11 a.m. ET

Spotify says the two series have accumulated more than 3.7 billion combined views since launching in 2016.
