"Add to Queue" and "Play next" available via Chromecast

Is there an option to play next while I'm casting through Chromecast? While listening to an album I had the urge to listen to another track. I wanted to add this to my queue so I could continue to listen the album after I listened to this random track. This seems to be an option that is available when I'm just listening on my iPhone, but once I start casting I can no longer add tracks to my queue to play next. What am I don't wrong? Thanks.

No updates @MrHaroldA @Drixed and I can’t provide an ETA for this either.
Apologies for the inconvenience

And now, ​@Jaime.Deezer ? Another year has passed without the possibility to add songs to a queue when you’re casting. This is a lack of basic functionality which really cripples all Chromecast users’ experience.

I can’t understand how a function as basic as ‘Play Next’ for Chromecast users isn’t being prioritised. I’ve been a Deezer user for a few years now but the fact that this isn’t being developed is a serious reason to look elsewhere.

Prioritised? It’s not even being considered. 🤡

Came to the forum to have a look at a few of these odd “features” or rather the lack of them.

Regarding this issue though, it looks like you can keep the option of Add to Queue by just using the phone to stream to the Chromecast instead of the (altogether pretty wonky) app. 

Can be annoying when you share to a display, since you'll mirror your screen I guess. But connected to the stereo this works okay.

But coming from Spotify (and probably returning) the queue management of Deezy is crazy bad. Sorry to say.

Yes, but you will cast all sounds coming from your phone, including notifications. It’s also prone for dropouts and stutter.

Let’s keep it at “crazy bad”, which is a really good summary for this issue.

@Jaime.Deezer any updates on this?

Deezer should give some information about this

@ejte it is marked as “not for now” and was last updated by ​@Jaime.Deezer as not having an update or any ETS. 
 

It’s a 7 year old thread. It’s probably safe to say it’s not happening and there’s no need to necropost on every related thread.

Wrong: I’ve created a support issue and either they are lying to me, or it’s back on the roadmap:

As I mentioned earlier, the issue is already with our technical team for further review. I’ll get back to you as soon as it has been worked on and there’s an update available. 
 
I truly appreciate your patience and understanding in the meantime.

 

Let’s keep spamming Deezer to finally make them implement such a basic feature.

This has been an issue for 7 years?! That's absurd. I'm testing to consider a switch from Spotify, but seeing such a basic function ignored for SEVEN YEARS makes me wonder how much support and innovation this app can have. 

 

Seriously, I listen on Google home and this is depressing.

I’d stay away from Deezer if I were you. We have a family subscription, so I’m not able to cancel that easily.

 

@Jaime.Deezer any updates for 2026? Last thing I got was this late November last year:

Hello Harold,
 
Thank you for your message. 
 
As I mentioned earlier, the issue is already with our technical team for further review. I’ll get back to you as soon as it has been worked on and there’s an update available.
