I would like to be able to block all video podcasts. My children should use a music streaming app to LISTEN to music, not to use it as youtube replacement and watch video podcasts of people playing computer games.

I use spotify for a decade, and they dont care. The Deezer helpdesk tells me that Deezer doesnt allow deactivating video podcasts (or all podcasts). There is an option to block age inappropriate podcasts, but I want ALL video blocked, even if child friendly. I want an audio app, not a youtube replacment.

If Deezer would enable the blocking of podcasts, I believe a lot of parents would move from Spotify.

Hi,
I am considering migration from Spotify to Deezer. Is it possible to block video content for kids?

I am just testing Deezer (moving away from Spotify) and thought that there is no video content at all here?
As I have the exact same issue with the Spotify Podcasts, this would be a 100% deal stopper for me.

Hey Deezer - I’m in the same situation. A parent looking to provide access to music without video content.

Hi Kevin. Got notified there is a reply in the thread I used 8 months ago so decided to share (I am a regular user, not Deezer related).
I moved to Deezer and I am happy that my kids can focus on the music.  I can’t see the video content (if it’s there - maybe it depends on the location/country?).
Just try it and see if it works for you.
If you move from other service - give yourself some time. The app is different, but still does the most important thing - plays music :)
