Chromecast from Deezer Desktop (Win10)

Would love to know why there's no Chromecast option on the Deezer Desktop app.
I realise that it's in Beta only, but is there a plan to include it?
I'm currently a Spotify (Premium) user and would be happy to change over to Deezer should there be the option to cast directly from the desktop app 🙂

Hi there @hnadj @Rob Igo 

With our new integration, it isn't possible to cast from a desktop at the moment. But we're still planning around this.

So like Rob said, it is possible to cast, but with the previous integration - not the new one which is more stable :thumbsup_tone2:

We were unable to make this an option for our desktop app yet, @Progwolf but we certainly appreciate your feedback as we, the community team, can show our devs how our users feel about this :v_tone2:

It says on your website it does work on the  desktop app, but I can’t find out how (macOS). And here I see that it’s supposed to work, but it in fact doesn’t. I literally just signed up for this service, after years with google music, and then trying out tidal, and being burned by both. I was excited, thinking “finally! a streaming service that does everything I want!”

This is disconcerting to see how this is being handled. I left spotify for handling the 10,000 song limit like this, went to google music which is now being ruined and turned into youtube music. I tried tidal, but they’re buggy and not up to par. Maybe I finally capitulate and go back to spotify (sigh). It’s a shame, because I want to listen to HiFi music, but I’d prefer to be able to listen at all via chromecast.

We get you @Gates Bradley thanks for the very honest feedback. This is something we want to do too, as we have a pipeline of desktop improvements to make. But for the same reasons, we still need more time to get there. Subscribe to this topic so that you can be up-to-date with our progress :v_tone2:

I’ve been loving Deezer, but am truly disappointed by the lack of Chromecast on my desktop app. I was planning to replace Spotify with it, but this is a gamechanger. You mention priorities, but this just feels as though you aren’t interested in a large part of your community.

Up to a couple of weeks ago, I was able to cast Deezer from Chrome. This no longer works; I have to use Edge to cast from the browser. The downside of this is that the track title no longer shows on the TV screen. Also, no evidence of Cast being supported in the Windows 10 Desktop app. Poor show?

Thank you for your feedback and apologies for the limitations @Jmattwood @Michael.O'Donnell we still haven't added the support for the new Chromecast integration to our desktop app but it's on the plans.

About Chrome, a few other users reported the same, so we're looking into that. In the meantime, can you update your Chrome version and restart your computer? Keep us posted and with the help of your feedback we'll improve this part of our service :v_tone2:

I too do not have the option to stream to chromecast from chrome (newest build, on ubuntu).

Works fine on all other services I currently have access to.

Just wanted to chime in and say that for me, too, this feature will decide whether deezer will be my service of choice (disgruntled gpm user as many others) or I have to move somewhere else.

Hey @davepe 

Thanks for sharing your honest feedback with us and registering your support for this feature.

I'll be passing your feedback on, hopefully we can either work with a native app or improve our casting options in the near future :thumbsup_tone2:

Two years later…. no Chromecast?

Months later “it’s in the plans”?

I’m trying to determine if Deezer is a good Google Play Music alternative since YouTube Music sucks donkey biscuits hah…. Deezer is nice but missing a number of important features. :(

October 2020 and still no chromecast option in desktop app for Windows 10. Do you have any timeline when this will be sorted out?
