Let’s take control of your sound with Deezer Connect!

Heads up! As of today 6th May 2025, the Deezer Connect (remote control) feature has been discontinued. While we know some of you loved using it, we’re focusing on improving other listening experiences across devices. Thanks for your support—and check out our devices page to explore other ways to enjoy Deezer! 💜

You asked and we made it! Deezer Connect is here folks!

We know this has been a long-expected feature but the waiting is over and now you
can control your music across all your devices with the Deezer app from your phone.

You can now use your iOS or Android device to control our desktop app,
Deezer web or simply another iOS or Android device.

How does it work?

Tap on the Audio output button (bottom left of the screen), choose
Deezer Connect and control all your music at your fingertips

 

 What will be the first song you will connect to another device?

    Tried it last night - keeps playing the incorrect songs? The list on my phone is not “synched”?

    Pretty much the same experience for me using the so called Connect app on my Pioneer amp as the previous comments, it won’t connect, it does not even see it, and I am on the same network, I have since ended my subscription and gone back to Spotify, I have used Qobuz before and the connectivity was also bad as there is no connect app but I could still stream from the app using chromecast

    And judging by the comments in here the problem is not being dealt with so I doubt very much I’ll be coming back

    I have Deezer playing on a PC and I want to control it.  When I open the app on my phone, there’s no way to connect to what’s currently playing.   Spotify works flawlessly here.

     

    Instead, I open the player on the PC, then play some music on the mobile app.   When I click on Deezer Connect and select my PC/browser from the list, it doesn’t play music, all I get is a warning message on the PC.

     

     

    Deezer Connect does not appear to be intuitive at all.

     

    Is anyone else getting this feature to work?

    Hi Nena thanks for the reply.

    So it “kind of” works but not really.

    I did turn on Deezer Connect on my phone and it appeared to connect to the PC.  However there’s no way for me select a new song, or playlist.  The phone doesn’t display what’s playing on the PC.  The only basic functionality is pause and resume it seems. No way to skip or select a different playlist.

    I think you need Synchronised Queue-list on PC and on phone 

    Then the content of your queue-list will be synchronised across all devices.

    Same here with issues using Connect. Once my phone locks, it takes about a minute or two before full control moves to the PC. Then if I unlock my phone I get the warning banner that I'm already playing elsewhere. So effectively control gets captured completely on the PC, making the phone a paperweight.  

    Small correction, it happens when I send the app to the background as well - e.g. when replying to a message
