Videos on Deezer? Give us your feedback!

good if you add a way to chat with friends too and share deezer
videos in the chat would be fun to talk about music in deezer with other friends.

I would like to see official music clips only but they should be optional. Something like canvas on Spotify should be optional too.

One amazing addition would be to have a video channel for each genre to run 24/7 music clips for the top songs in that genre. Somewhat like the old MTV. I would cast that into my TV and run it in background all day long. This would be something unique to separate you from the competition.

Keep them coming, guys! Love your comments!

Thank you @Sergi.Sanz @blendkrasniqi 

I wouldn’t mind this feature, but I think Deezer needs to first get the basics 100% right before embarking on adding new features. Not that the basics are bad, but they’re not yet 100% there yet. What do I mean:

• Improve podcast catalog
• Improve podcasts playback features in general
• improve shuffle play
• improve interface (some playback menus have become way to busy)
• improve Siri integration 
• improve CarPlay stability (audio resume, interface loading, ...)

I think once all these issues have been improved, then you can start thinking about adding other things. 

Hi @Rudi and everyone.

My answer is NO. No videos on Deezer. 

For me, I rather have Deezer just an awesome music site. .. after all, we are Deezer members for music, not video music.

I’m happy with my playlists on YouTube.  I can go there anytime if I want Videos.

Anyway, if Deezer had Videos too, it would become so “busy” and “complicated”.

On the other hand, if having videos is necessary to keep up with competitors like other streaming sites etc,, I suppose it needs to be considered.

Cheers all,, and a Happy Christmas .. 

Very detailed and useful feedback @oldrecord really nice! We need to see you here more often, super appreciated!

Tidal has videos, and has it brought them success? I doubt it, I read that they are at a loss and will most likely be taken over. Even the artist co-owners leave the sinking ship. I was a Tidal subscriber myself and I left because their music recommendations were rather focused on the repertoire of the owners. Being offered the latest Jay-Z album every time you open the app is not what I'm looking for in a streaming service. Am I missing their videos? No, I never watched them. I was also a Spotify subscriber. I left because of the lack of a cross-genre playlist that you can turn on in the morning to listen to it all day long. Their daily mixes and recommendations are very good but once you select one you are stuck in a particular genre for the rest of the listening time. Spotify has no videos, but it does have canvas, which is a kind of short video, a number of images that are played in a loop like a GIF. Have I ever watched it? No, that was the first option for me to disable. I was also a Youtube Music subscriber. I left due to the lack of proper volume normalization in the mobile client. A streaming service without volume normalization shouldn't be on the market in 2020. Again, YTM has videos but I never watched them.

All these things brought me to Deezer. The music recommendations are great and not biased towards a specific artist or genre, I have a decent sound system so I appreciate lossless compression, the volume normalization works fine, and most important to me: Deezer Flow is simply fantastic. During this pandemic, I work from home every day. In the morning I start my Deezer Flow and all day long I hear my favorite music as well as new music that I usually like, and this for various genres of music. Flow was billed as the unique selling point of Deezer, and I think that's right.

So I think Deezer should stay focused on its core business. Why reinvent the wheel? If I want to watch videos, I go to Youtube and I find everything I am looking for. I don't use my music streaming service for that. Competing with YouTube is a war that can never be won.

And as mentioned here before, the current services of Deezer can certainly be further perfected:
Android Auto integration is not flawless, every time after starting the car the current song from my playlist is played and then the music stops, then I have to select something new.
A decent crossfader function when playing mixes would be nice. This feature has been in the Beta phase (Deezer Labs) for a while and can certainly be improved.
When switching between playback via Chromecast and playback on the mobile client sometimes the wrong metadata is displayed. You hear one song and you see the artist/song details of another song.

That's what I'm waiting for, not videos.

But of course, I'm in my 50's and maybe younger subscribers think otherwise.

Greetings from Belgium and happy New Year to you all.

I sign, I also think that the videos are useless, I am just amazed by the praise of volume normalization, which of course degrades the quality of the recording, so as a hifi user I have it turned off. Sorry for OT.

I’m also on the Hifi plan, but I don’t think that volume normalizing alters the music quality.  At least, it shouldn’t. Isn’t volume normalization all about ReplayGain values (or some simular algorithm) stored in the metadata of each FLAC file that lets the playing device preset the volume for the upcoming song? 

Probably yes,i dont know, only from my experience, when I turn on this function, it gets worse, the music is flat, I don't like it.
