Say Goodbye to Deezer Connect 👋

End of support for Deezer Connect 
 

Our goal at Deezer is to create the best listening experience by providing features that bring the most enjoyment to our community. Sometimes, that means having to make tough decisions, like letting go of features that no longer serve our listeners. 

The remote control feature, also known as Deezer connect, allowed users to control their music playing on one device from another device. We understand that many of you found this tool useful. However, in order to dedicate our resources most effectively and provide the best possible experience to our users, we have decided to discontinue support for the Deezer Connect feature.

We appreciate your understanding and adaptability to these changes. We are so grateful to the users that enjoyed the Deezer Connect feature and we know some of you will miss it. But don't worry, there are still other ways to listen to Deezer across all of your devices. If you need any help discovering other options, please don't hesitate to visit our devices page! 💜

    Without pleezer Deezer is worth nothing. The suggestion algorithm is horrible. The only good thing I can think of besides pleezer was the free transfer of playlist from other streaming platforms. I will leave again since without pleezer it is just a really bad deal. 
    Sad and surprised about the stupidity,

    good bye

    This is absurd. I, too, made the switch from Spotify a couple months ago. Deezer has been the best alternative I found, except for lacking any way to remotely control the app. Now I learn you once offered this feature but recently *decided* to kill it?? 🤦‍♀️ Is that your business model? Remove features people count on, with no sensible explanation or possible workaround?

    @ashcreighton Deezer Connect never remotely controlled the app in the way that Spotify Connect does. It was a feature with an extremely limited use case and functionality, and was scrapped because of that.

    We all have to choose our service(s) based on the totality of their function, appeal, and many times the company behind them. If you find that the absence of Deezer Connect rules the service out, then thank you for giving it a try and best of luck wherever you land.

    I just switched from Spotify because of the boycott. But in 2025, it’s crazy to not have the same functionality as Spotify… that's why I chose Spotify 10 years ago, for better connectivity. I convinced 5 of my friends to switch but they are really disapoointed too by this lack or feature. Please add it

    Deezer should implement new and improved Connect option to match competitors.

    Hi,

    I highly agree with everyone, a new and improved Deezer Connect would mean a lot of improvment in daily uses for me. Please please please reconsider it.

    Just got my trial month. I think my decision is already made. From my android phone I only can stream with bluetooth to my system. That is not what I need. Was used to Bubbleupnp to cast directly to my streamer. The only serious option now is Qobuz if I want to avoid American providers and the not so sympathetic Spotify. I will keep an eye on this forum to see if Deezer Connect will return.

    Honestly: replies like this are embarrassing. It’s not a constructive response to an important concern, it comes across as dismissive and condescending.

    I’ve already stopped using Deezer, and after reading comments like this I don’t see myself coming back or recommending it to anyone. It’s just a shame, omg.
    If Deezer (or the moderators) brush off user feedback with “then go elsewhere,” nobody should be surprised when people actually do, and when competitors end up looking better simply because they take feedback seriously.
