You've asked for this feature and since then, the wait has been a long journey. Our community pet peeve for a while, starts to get shape in our platform… :iphone:

Welcome to our remote control feature! :boom:

It's a great privilege for me to announce our initial test launch, for iOS users who are on the beta version of the app :minidisc:

You can now use your iPhone (or iPad) to control our desktop app, the Deezer web app, another iPhone or iPad.

How to access the remote control feature? :telephone_receiver:

You'll need to have the beta version of the Deezer app on iOS:

Open app > Settings > Deezer Labs
Activate Remote Control
Choose your track and click on the “Audio output” icon
Select the device you want to control

Any idea when this feature will come to Android (even beta would be fine)? If I continue my subscription is based on this feature… Love Deezer except for the fact, that it’s missing this feature.

Am I correct that if the feature passes the user test, it will be gradually implemented into other devices such as streamers, tv, wireless speakers, etc.?

I have no idea how to pair the different devices. I have the desktop app and music is playing there. Now I start the app on the iPhone and go to the "connected devices". Searching ... no result. All devices registered in the same network.

At the moment they are only devices with OS (operating system). This functionality is designed, for example, for amazon’s echo? (controlling a speaker is what a lot of people really want) 🙏🏻

To control the web version, Deezer Labs must first be activated in the settings ( https://www.deezer.com/account/labs ).

Desktop app for Mac cannot be controlled yet. The settings are missing here.

You're indeed correct and much faster than me @dee_dirk I had asked the same question from our devs, and they told me to activate on Labs in the web app too! Thanks for sharing :pray_tone2:

@Placido09 @Inad74 that's the idea. We develop the technology and the way to integrate with our apps, then we can add more and more devices, in the near future :relaxed: it'll take time but we'll get there!

@FridoDasBrot @Armiixteryx we don't have a timescale yet, but our devs are working on it at the same time. Hopefully we'll have more news on this in the next couple of months - but I'll keep you all posted :hugging:
