Spotify Technology SA said Tuesday that it has launched a video-podcast feature.

Videos made by podcast creators will play alongside audio content on Spotify's mobile app or desktop program, the company said.

Podcasts that will now run with video content on Spotify include "Book of Basketball 2.0," "Fantasy Footballers" and "The Misfits Podcast," Spotify said.

In May, podcast host Joe Rogan reached a deal to bring his popular podcast, "The Joe Rogan Experience," to Spotify exclusively. Mr. Rogan's long-running podcast, which includes video, was previously available on Alphabet Inc.'s YouTube, but he had withheld it from Spotify citing the company's unfavorable revenue-sharing terms.
