    Microsoft unveils Spotify, Phone Link widgets for Windows 11

    San Francisco: Tech giant Microsoft has unveiled new Spotify and Phone Link widgets for Windows 11 which are now available in the latest ‘Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25290’ to the Dev Channel.

    To access the new widgets, Insiders in the Dev Channel can go to the widgets collection in the Microsoft Store and update to the latest version of the applications, the tech giant said in a blogpost on Wednesday.

    Then they have to open the widgets board and navigate to the widgets picker by clicking the plus button at the top-right of the board to pin their widgets.

    The company also mentioned that with the release of ‘Windows App SDK 1.2’ developers can now create widgets for their applications.

    “Users can access these experiences on their Windows 11 widgets board in current Dev Channel Insider Preview builds,” it added.

    Meanwhile, last month, the tech giant had released a new Windows 11 preview build for Insiders in the Dev Channel, which included an updated version of Task Manager with a new feature for tinkerers, developers, and troubleshooters.

  • Spotify to lay off employees amid deepening slowdown

    Spotify to lay off employees amid deepening slowdown

    New Delhi: Swedish music streaming giant Spotify is expected to lay off employees this week amid the deepening economic slowdown, the media reported on Monday.

    The number of workers to be fired wasn’t specified at the moment, reports Bloomberg, citing sources.

    The company had nearly 9,800 employees, as last reported.

    Spotify did not immediately comment on the report.

    In October last year, Spotify reportedly shut down 11 original podcasts from its in-house studios, as a part of cost-cutting and layoffs which recently took place.

    Less than 5 per cent of the company’s staff on original podcasts were either laid off or reassigned to new shows.

    Among the podcasts cancelled from in-house studios Gimlet and Parcast were ‘How to Save a Planet’, ‘Crime Show’, and ‘Medical Murders’.

    In the second quarter of 2023, Spotify will say goodbye to “Horoscope Today”.

    In June, reports surfaced for the first time that Spotify is reducing new hiring by at least 25 per cent as tech companies navigate through volatile global conditions.

    Spotify earlier shut its lightweight listening app ‘Spotify Stations’.

    At an investors’ presentation last year, Spotify’s chief financial officer Paul Vogel said that they were “clearly aware of the increasing uncertainty regarding the global economy.”

    The Swedish music-streaming platform had more than 433 million monthly active users (MAUs) in 2022.
