I've seen that with windows 10 you could add native pop ups notifications, I was wondering is it possible that you can add a feature that will use this pop ups to display the current track playing and/or help me navigate to the next or previous song on the playlist.
I've found my self lost in this space but have to find the window to repeat a track or skip some tracks that i don't like... its just a suggestion
I know that you can do this native pop ups with node js, but i think there can be a work around to have this. I just can imagine changing the track while typing this message without having to leave this page.
Thankx in advance

I was about to make a new post but then this was suggested! Almost made a duplicate.
Title:
Web player - add support for Media Session API
Description:
This means rich media notifications! Chrome for desktop also now has a global media controls button (an icon with a list and a music icon). When you provide metadata for the media, you get seeking and track changing, album art, titles, artists. Here are some relevant links:
https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/02/media-session
https://googlechrome.github.io/samples/media-session/
https://w3c.github.io/mediasession/
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Media_Session_API
and it’s something that Deezer’s main competitor, Spotify, has support for in their web player. But Spotify has removed features from their web player and is kinda why I use Deezer. Spotify does let you make a private listening session though which is suggested here: https://en.deezercommunity.com/features-feedback-44/private-from-flow-session-58434
Thanks a lot for these suggestions@raccoonsarecool I'll pass them on to the team who deals with our web version of Deezer

an even better link
Thanks@raccoonsarecool , detailed info to clarify things for users too
Just following up from what@raccoonsarecool said in his reponses I just want to add that adding support for the Media Session API would make it really nice to run Deezer in Chrome/Firefox/Edge. The added benefit is that I can then use other extensions that do things like:
This is sugar on top of making the media keys work without a browser extension. (P.S. Most of the browser extensions I’ve seen - that add support for media keys - don’t tend to work if you aren’t working in the browser window itself.)
TLDR: I’d be really excited if you did add this but it’s not a dealbreaker for me! I’ve been using Deezer for about 4 days now and I’m loving it!
Welp. It looks like you’ve already integrated it! I’m a Google Play Music refugee and I installed the extension a couple of days ago to help with exporting some rare MP3s before I switched to you folks at Deezer. Little did I know that the extension would get in the way of your integration!
<3 thanks folks!
Thanks for sharing your feedback and comments here@connrs
There's still a lot to do with the desktop app on the subjects you mentioned above - Discord, IFTT, Last.fm. And these features should get more traction at Deezer in the next few months - stay tuned
Wait so does that mean that Deezer’s web player finally supports the media session API? I made that comment 6 whole months ago. Before the ‘rona.
