Google Home in the Netherlands

Hey @The Tito 

Thanks for reaching out. Please see above for more info.

At the moment, Google hasn't enabled our integration in The Netherlands. But your support definitely contributes to the idea!

Dear Deezer team,

What is current status on Deezer being available in Google Home as streaming Service?

Any progression booked with Google? As many in the thread already switched (back) to Spotify I have the same plans and if home automation and integration is maturing fast, you loose valuable users in not having the integration available, or… are there tweaks to use Google Home in English from The Netherlands to make use of Deezer?

Thanks,

Eric

Hi there @WenE 

Thanks for reaching out about this. I genuinely think that Google is in a better position to answer you. I've pinned my reply of some time ago. This isn't because of Deezer efforts, but because Google chooses its global partners - we need to expand country by country, and that process is a long drive for our side, always. Thank you for your understanding 

I don’t understand why Deezer is not compatible with Google Home.

Smart speakers are booming in The Netherlands and if this problem is not solved a lot of customers switch to Spotify. 
 

I’ve contacted Google and they said they liked the idea, but they suggested that I also contact Deezer for further information.

Thanks @Timo Bos 

Please bear in mind the device is theirs - and they have their own streaming service. We worked hard and for a long time on establishing the integrations in the current countries we have - but like explained here and in other topics, it's a commercial partnership. With the amount of Deezer fans in the Netherlands, we're all pro this integration - hope you understand 

i am thinking about migrating to spotify as well. it is really ludicrous that deezer is still not supported.

i have been a deezer customer for years and have a family account but i am done waiting...

Hello @Orion Pax, we are really sorry to see you go, but you read Rudi’s comment just above- we are more than willing to have Deezer supported on Google Home in Netherlands 

Have a nice day

Hi,

Why can I connect to Spotify and not to Deezer via Google assistant in the Netherlands. This is crazy and will very soon result in me leaving Deezer and join Spotify.

Hi @SLC 

The reason being is because Google has partnered with that streaming service to be its global music partner.

With Deezer, we have to request a different type of integration with one country to be expanding to at a time - mostly depending on Google's decision. Thank you for your understanding 

It is unbelievable this integration for the Netherlands customers keeps dragging on. Moderators all give a single answer it ain’t there yet. No timeline no ETA nothing at all to rest all assured it will arrive…. real painful ...
