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! 💜

 

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


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?

      Great that there is progress. Really can't wait for SONOS control in the Deezer app.

        Pointless without proper Chrome cast support 

        Casting to Chromecast Devices should work fine again. Are you having any trouble?

        I can cast but simple features like controlling the volume from the device volume button or the “Play Next” or “add to Queue” options are not available when using Chrome Cast

        What devices and Deezer Player are you using?

        I have no problems controlling volume and skipping with casting to a HDMI chromecast v2. Using Deezer app on iphone. 

        I get the same issue 4 different Samsung Android devices ( 3 phones and 1 Tablet ), My friend also gets the issue on his Google Pixel.

        The Cast devices are Nvidia Shield, JBL Speakers and a Chrome Cast Dongle - the behavior of these is identical.

        To control, the volume I have to open the Cast popup window, the volume button on devices do not control the volume of the cast. This is a real pain as I have to open the device and navigate to Deezer to adjust the volume.

        When casting the context menus of a song for Play next and add to queue are missing.

        Note -  I’ve not mentioned I had a issue with Skipping a track, This is working fine?

        Not when using Bluetooth on the same android devices to a Bluetooth speaker these function work perfectly

        @Jon Black 

        You can not compare bluetooth playback with casting.  They work completely different. 
        With Bluetooth it’s absolutely the same as if you use the Deezer App ob your phone. The stream comes to the phone and is forwarded by the bt connection. 
         

        With casting it’s another way… your phone is just a remote control to initialize the stream. Then it directly comes to the casting device and the features that are supported depend on the possibilities of googles casting protocol. So you can’t use the deezer app like you normaly do with streaming to the phone.

            Hey, the feature is not working :(

            I have version 7.0.17.42 on my android phone, and the same version on Amazon Fire TV 4k stick.

            I want to control music played on the TV from my android phone, but deezer connect on android does not find any device. Both devices are connected to the same WIFI network.

            How to fix?

            I wanted to do the same thing as you, but Deezer Connect is not supported on Fire TV Stick. 

            But I found a solution which isn't that difficult if you have technical understanding. 

            - sideload the "Apptoid" App using the "Downloader"

            - in Apptoid there are 2 or 3 different Deezer Apps. Install the normal Android version, not the one for Android TV.

            - open the new Deezer App and enjoy using the remote function 😃

            If you don't know how to do the steps from above, just search on Google.

             

            I hope this was helpful.

             

            Yup, I upgraded to 7.0.19.60 before christmas, it started to work somehow…

             

            Today I tried latest beta (7.0.21.1 beta). Sady, it does not work, it says “you cannot play on two devices simultaneously”. I just want to control tv from phone, whatever… Although, 7.0.21 has nice rework of UI, I went back to 7.0.19

            Just be aware of…

            This isn’t an official support solution. If it works for you… be happy. But there‘s no support for any issues with such use cases.

            It doesn’t work for me.  First of all, there is no “audio output” button, but I did manage to find Deezer Connect in Audio settings / Audio Output.

            I have two Android devices; let’s call them S21 and S7.  S7 is playing music and I want to control S7 using S21.  The current songs appears on both devices, so I know there is some sort of connection - at least to the server.

            However, S21 cannot see S7.  If I skip to the next track on S21, it starts playing on S21, not on S7.

            What can I try?  Is my setup going to work?

            @soakes 

            I guess S21 is running latest deezer app version from google play store… but does the S7 also?
