Chromecast and Android: No 'play next' or 'add to queue'
Userlevel 2
Using Deezer on Android. When Chromecasting I cannot select 'play next' or 'add to queue' for songs. The options are greyed out. They work fine if I stop casting. I've seen similar posts going back months on here and can't believe this basic functionality hasn't been sorted out.

HI @Ezman this is indeed being worked on. We are actually working on a new version for the Chromecast integration, I am afraid I do not have any timeframe to share. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi there @hayalci
Thank you for exploring the community and compiling this list. We're aware they're in separate topics and we've decided to keep them separate to make it open for more people to find it. Feedback is collected by us from all parts of the community, so when we speak to our teams about what our users want, we don't leave anything out ;)
For the time being you're right, we need people to vote for the idea so that we have a louder voice when representing our community!

You're very right 
I also would like this feature to be added. The lacking functionality when casting to a chromecast device is very disappointing.
It should be basic feature. Actually, it is a deal breaker for me, as I use Chromecast all the time, and Deezer doesn't seem to support Chromecast that well.
There's two ideas suggested for queue management while casting. Please vote on the ideas.
Admins: please merge these two, and help the dev team prioritize the issues.

Just started a Hifi trial to get away from the dumpster fire that is YouTube music.
Audio quality is stellar, but lack of Chromecast functionality which Google Play Music already had years ago (until Google put a bullet through that one too) will be a dealbreaker for me if it's not fixed. Like so many others, I'll probably wind up on Spotify as well.
As has been said before, Deezer shouldn't be blowing the Google Home trumpets if it's not showing up with the most basic of goods.
Just to add my voice, this too is a deal breaker for me. I am on a hifi trial.
Casting to Humax Aura (Android Freeveiw box) with built in chromecast, from Samsung S6Lite (Android11) is a solution I have been searching for to get flac into my AVR. But an inability to "Play Next" or otherwise manage the play queue is a deal breaker.
Agree with this. Pretty crucial functionality to not have.

Just switched to Deezer yesterday and encountered this problem too. Using a Pixel 3 on Android 11 and casting to a pair of Nest Audio speakers. There are so many issues that pop up when doing so: Play Next and Add to Queue are gone. The widget disappears from my homescreen and it’s gone from the drawer.
Please fix these issues.
Three years and still nothing. Amazing.
I understand it has been a while and frustrating at the same time.
I’ve ask our devs for any update and will get back to you soon.
So… Any update ?

Exact same here , had been absolutely loving the trial of Deezer I'm on and thought this was gonna be the one to finally replace years of Spotify until I tried to queue up some music on my Google home system and found I couldn't . Complete deal breaker and I'm a bit gutted about it as I spent ages trying the settings to see where I was going wrong and spent a bit of time transferring and setting up playlists as was ready to go all in with Deezer
Even apple music which surely must be the most unlikely Google companion ever manages to do this so it can't be that hard to integrate surely.
Deezer, please add the functionality to Deezer, I too would like to be able to use a play queue while casting, this is pretty basic functionality. Thanks

I think this is more a fix than a feature. We should have the same experience regardless we are using Bluetooth, Chromecast, AirPlay or not.
I'm in the same situation as others on this post, just trialling out Deezer to move away from Spotify but this is a deal breaker. Otherwise was looking good

We have a family subscription, so I can’t switch unless everybody agrees.
I guess I’m stuck here :(
Hi there
No specific date, but we expect more updates about it by the end of the year :wink:
Well, there’s not many days yet and this was reported at least a year ago. Lack of “Play Next” and “Add to Queue” is an absolute deal breaker for me.
Please help me! I’m currently subscribed to Tidal for HiFi but I’m so sick of having the likes of Jay-Z and Boyonce rammed down my throat every time I open the app (not a fan!) I need to get off that platform but HiFi is a must for me.
Deezer is the obvious platform if only it worked! There must be thousands of Chromecast and Chromecast built in users effected buy this silly bug.
Deezer is so well positioned to be the choice for HiFi enthusiasts but is let down by the lack of these basic features.
I totally get your point 
I know I’ve complained a lot about Deezer so here’s some praise 
I’ve possibly just found one feature that will keep me on Deezer . Just found out I can sync music to my fitbit and not need to take my phone out running. Never realized that was possible on a fitbit to do.
I have a Pixel 3 and am experiencing this same issue whenever I am casting to a Chromecast
I honestly thought the app was bugging when I didn't see these two options in the menu.
I've found CC support to be lacklustre in certain other competitors but this a new low.

Hey
Apologies for the experience you've been having. Yes, we have our new Chromecast integration ready and working but play next and add to queue are still features we need to develop for it. I'm unable to give you a timescale but I assure you that your feedback will add priority to their development. I say this because I know our focus for the end of this year and 2021 is to get all these integrations with other devices to work better and do more 
Please see Flo's reply above 🤓
It's every Google device I have ever tried to cast to: Chromecast 4k, Chromecast Original, Google Home Mini, Google Home, etc
Queuing songs whilst connected to Chromecast is a deal breaker for me too. I was ready to switch the whole family from Spotify to Deezer, as it is a vastly superior service, but without this feature I cannot justify it. Such a shame.
