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:

For what it’s worth, the Deezer web player shows the Chromecast icon in the playbar at the bottom for me in MS Edge, but not in the Deezer desktop app. I don’t know if it really works, as I don’t have a Chromecast device, but the icon is there.

Hey @Avaugoux 

Thank you for your support and for your patience,

We hope that Chromecast could be add very soon to the desktop app, it is in fact a must have feature,

In the meantime, as it has been mentioned on this thread, you can use the web player that has already the Chromecast feature integrated,

Thanks :)

I just migrated to Deezer from Spotify, obviously without testing long enough.

And I find that there is no way to cast to a chromecast audio using the desktop app. Although this thread has been going on for at least three years? I mean seriously??? Three years?

And the company’s response is that “they hope that Chromecast could be added very soon”?

No, @Alfredo. WE, the customers, hope that it could be added very soon. Your job is not to “hope”, it is to make sure it DOES exist asap.

How on earth did I miss this issue BEFORE I signed up with Deezer??????? I feel so stupid and angry now.

Another ex Spotify Premium user here.

 

+1 at missing this feature.

 

Using the web player workaround at the moment but I don’t like to have Deezer in a tab of a browser as I normally use 3 different browsing profiles because of work, so I quite often get lost with so many tabs.

Yes. This is an big issue. I even bought Chromecast to be able to stream music using Deezer, but find out that only mobile app can be used to control the music.

 

Seems like I have to go back to Spotify for this. It has very well functioning support to control music wether it plays on your PC, Chromecast, soundbar, Bluetooth, watch etc… etc… Prices are about the same. Sound quality is good enough. Music collection seems to be also bit better at least for the music that I listen.

 

One big problem on Spotify is that it cannot handle big playlist (over 1300 songs or so) well when streaming to soundbar. It starts to play the songs randomly and does not follow playlist order. I expect that to work better on Chromecast devices, but haven’t tested yet.

Hi @mnivala, thank you for your feedback about using Deezer with Chromecast.

I understand how important it is to control your music from different devices.

Improving this feature is not in our plans right now because we need to fix some bugs first.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.
