Volume banner in deezer desktop app

I have this problem as well 🤷‍♂️

As described  above, just came from spotify where i could have just cancel this feature and forget about it, where now it got stuck in the middle of the screen.

Hope it will be solved soon!

I'm confident it'll be sorted this year @elrohir 

And I'm following up all the progress around our desktop app - which will be getting extensive work on to improve. Stay tuned and bear with us on this!

Hi @Rudi,

Would it be fixed on the web version as well? I found several solutions, but it involves messing with registry or installing third party softwares, and it comes with secondary effects either way. Windows really sucks… but when could this be solved?

Thanks.

PS : +12k reponses in 2 years, how do you do that :o

Hey @GingaPowa 

We're not sure yet, it's a bit hard to predict because we have to go through some hurdles first. Apologies for the experience you're having.

On another note, where did you get those figures? Just curiosity because of the stats I have for this thread 

holy censored boys what is going on here??
how can it take over a censored year to add a simple api call??
fix this censored.

fix it PLEASE

Thanks for the feedback @fernandogoularte @Squire 

We might be able to solve this with our updated version of the desktop app, I'll keep you posted!

Thanks for sharing your solution. I downloaded the “Modern Flyouts” in Windows Store and i’m satisfied with the result. However it’s a shame that Deezer still don’t give us this option.

Agreed with @Mazito as well, totally understand. Apologies on behalf of Deezer for coming short on this one - your feedback is duly noted.

Thanks a lot for sharing this with us @Squire 

Just bumping to say I too want this feature in the desktop app still, please keep the dev team notified @Rudi , Thank you!

Thanks for the contribution @jkteddy77 I'll sure pass it on!

@Rudi

I am going to chime in on this but it is possible to configure this setting on the app itself, NOT in windows. There are several trick out there to remove the floating volume display for the windows operating system, and this is not how to go about looking into this. Lets Mozilla Firefox; the privacy focused browser. Ill just post this:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1301196

That should say it all. Windows 10 is NOT causing this. Lets look at another example for Brave Browser a privacy focused Chromium browser that way faster:

https://community.brave.com/t/get-rid-of-windows-10-multimedia-overlay/65612

This feature has to be incorporated into the application to allow windows 10 to display it. Here is the proof:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59346823/how-to-display-your-media-player-program-to-show-on-volume-control-on-windows-10

So really this is either the Deezer management team not allowing users to choose , the devs not knowing what they are doing, or someone on the dev team outright refusing to add the switch into the application. As a developer myself I know that some developers take offense when people suggest changes in their app and will resist with every bit of strength until they are over ruled by management on the matter esp if they are in a management role as well. I have seen it myself. Developers and management should take ALL feedback seriously and remember that everyone does not like or think the way they do.

I am asking for some reasons as to why this has not been done, and as a PAYING customer I feel i should be allowed to know a little where the hold up is please? Management or developers? This request is 3 years old. I kind of feel like we are talking to Google here ….

Best Regards

Thanks for all the feedback @carm001. I’ve informed our devs already and passed them all this info 

So it’s been three years! Pretty sure it’s not that difficult to implement or even at this point steal a line of code from another music app that did it better, so that this issue y’all have ignored can get actually addressed! When are we fixing the app?

Hii Deezer,

Any update?

Thanks

Is there a time estimate for this?

The Desktop Notifications toggle doesn’t work. Windows Media Overlay is still showing in Windows 10, no matter if it’s on or off.

Our developers are working on it, for now I can say big changes are coming to improve the experience on computer, but we don’t have any specific dates yet. 😑

As soon as we have news around it, we let you know. 🤞🏽

Take care.

I’ve been looking for a Spotify alternative and just tried Deezer for the first time - the volume pop ups or flyouts are insanely annoying. 

I can see that after 4 years Deezer has been pushing this annoyance to the side despite customers requests for a simple option to disable via app, instead customers are required to fix it via third party solution.

That says everything I need to know - farewell Deezer! 

To remove the Deezer volume banner that appears when adjusting the volume on your Windows 10 PC, you can try the following steps:

1. Open the Deezer app on your computer, if it's currently running.
2. Navigate to the Settings or Preferences within the Deezer app. This is usually accessible through a menu or gear icon.
3. Look for an option related to notifications or pop-ups. It may be labeled as "Show volume banner" or something similar.
4. Disable or uncheck the option to disable the Deezer volume banner.
5. Save the settings and exit the Deezer app.

Any update ? It’s been 4 years -_- ?

Hi @Lucas Duperier could you share with us a video with a step by step just to see if I got it right.

I will reach out our developers with that in hands. 

I suspect Deezer app is running with an embedded Chrome so I tried this workaround and it worked:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\deezer-desktop\Deezer.exe --regexp-mode-modifiers  --disable-features=HardwareMediaKeyHandling

Modify your shortcut and add the two parameters on the “Target”, after Deezer.exe.

In my case, I just run this once and it worked without the parameters for the following times, it looks like Deezer stores the parameters for the next runs somehow.

Disabling the flag “HardwareMediaKeyHandling” in standard Chrome, the Media Keys are not sent to the browser and it looks like this also works for Deezer app. Sadly, non of the media keys are sent to Deezer, that means, the Volume Up/Down and Mute keys work because the volume is managed by Windows but  the Play/Pause button won’t work, since we are disabling the media keys to be caught by Deezer, so the “Pay or Pause” event will be ignored by Deezer.

Then to get the features back again, run once with “-regexp-mode-modifiers  --enable-features=HardwareMediaKeyHandling”.

But yes, it is still a shame that you cannot hide the Picture when press the media keys.
