title: Minimizing desktop app to tray.
description: It would be really helpful to have an option to minimize desktop app into system tray instead of keeping it in taskbar.
platform/device: desktop app for Win/Linux.

There have already been a couple of similar suggestions in general topic (like this https://en.deezercommunity.com/troubleshooting-and-tips-4/deezer-beta-desktop-app-all-feedback-bug-reports-tip-and-ideas-suggestions-here-please-1291/index9.html#post28124 or this https://en.deezercommunity.com/troubleshooting-and-tips-4/deezer-beta-desktop-app-all-feedback-bug-reports-tip-and-ideas-suggestions-here-please-1291/index9.html#post27705). So I believe this idea deserves to have its own place to discuss and vote up. 🙂

This option is a "must have" on every desktop listening app. I have came across many very simple radio or music playing desktops apps, that all have it. And judging by competitors' desktop apps (which all have system tray option), I would hope it will be added in future versions. Thanks.

Same line of thinking here, this is one of those staple features that goes with any music desktop program.

I don't know how this one was overlooked (or why it even needs to be voted for), just by researching competing desktop apps this would be an obvious "must have" feature to include.

Bonus points if Deezer includes Pause/Play/Previous/Next controls in the system tray menu.

Hi there, great idea. Get those users from the topics you have mentioned to vote for it ;)

We are happy to forward this to our devs 😉

I loved the idea of not having to maximize the desktop app to skip/pause/rewind tracks, Amazon Music had this, but too bad for them I switched to Deezer. If we could have it minimize to taskbar that would be a huge plus too so it doesn't show up in our ALT+TAB switches. There were offline mp3 players that could add Play/Pause/Skip functions to tray too, I know that could be complicated, but please consider that too.

Hey!

Could you add the option to minimize the app, at closing or an extra button, to the taskbar, where some Windows icons along with time and date appear?
Also would be great if just standing the mouse on it appeared a menu to change the song, etc.

Thanks!

It'll be great if you could add a feature where you could skip or pause or move back a track by hovering over the deezer icon in the taskbar...something that vlc does pretty nicely.
