Try our remote control and let us know how it works!

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 Updates on development status?
It’s 2022 now and I’m honestly starting to loose faith we’ll ever see this feature come to fruition and be as satisfying and convenient to use as Spotify Connect. 

Seriously considering to switch to Spotify Hifi (once that finally becomes available). If I do it will be with a broken heart, for sure, but I can’t justify the price anymore if I can’t use Deezer comfortably on Android with my Bluesound streamer.

Spotify Hifi would indeed solve most of my current streaming needs. I would honestly prefer staying with Deezer but if the development pace and community communication remains at this unsatisfactory level I'll switch eventually...

Still not possible to stream directly to Sonos from Deezer?


Came over from Spotify (where this has been possible since before music was invented), and I’m still on my Deezer trial, and not having this feature is unfortunately a deal breaker when the price for family is identical. If you don’t have the same features, you must have a lower price.

Can you please write down what stage of development is Deezer Connect? Is it even being worked on? If so, in what time horizon are you planning a massive expansion? A year, two, five, ten..? thanks

  • Install the “ TestFlight ” application on your device
  • Click on this link https://testflight.apple.com/join/e7mCOEeg
  • Once the beta version is installed, activate the feature in Labs, within the app's settings
  • Find it in the audio output settings of the player

Note: some users may get access to the feature directly from the Deezer Labs on the official release app (not beta)

 

:loud_sound:  It is essential that you test the feature and let us know your feedback, so that we can turn it into a fully-functional one in the near future. We need you so comment below:nerd:

 

Update please.

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.

I’m trying to ditch Spotify, but missing this is a deal killer. Hope it gets implemented soon!

Are there other Spotify alternatives that have this feature?  It's all that's stopping me ditching them

Hmz, it's been 7 months now or so? I thought it was a Spotify thing, but apparently it is a music-app thing to not follow through on promises.

Indeed looking to switch from spotify, but may now be ‘forced’ to go to Tidal. Shame!

Controlling Deezer on my Mac from my iPhone and iPad is working quite well, but I'd love to see it working in the other direction as well. So I would like to be able to control the music that's playing from my iPhone/iPad with my Mac.
