:movie_camera:What if…we add videos to Deezer?

 

 

Here at Deezer, we listen. And for that reason, audio is simply perfect :dvd:

Nevertheless, video continues to take over everywhere, and if you love to listen to your favorite artists, maybe you want to see them too?

 

We'd love to hear from you on this subject!

 

  • What do you think?

  • Would you like to have videos on Deezer?

  • Why/why not?

  • What type of video content would you be interested in?

  • Where in the app would you prefer to find them?

 

 

If there's anything you have in mind that doesn't fit in with the questions above, don't be shy. Let us know how you think this can work on our platform :nerd:

Most definitely looking for an option to be able to select to have music videos on.

 

Please, please give us this option!!!!!

Preferrably up to 4K resolution -- as on YouTube too.


Yes! I would like to see videos on deezer. It would be great a function like YouTube music to choose videos or music button. If we can stream it to the TV with chrome cast or airplay. And a like or dislike function. 


But I will also see before deezer start a video service. See that the got damn limit is away. Videos will be cool. But the like limit will be hold a lot off this functionality. I think personally  first fix the core from the service before you introduce  new functions and this is the most important one. 


Thanks for the feedback @darkdevil1988 @CLINTJ 

Don't worry @darkdevil1988, this is just to have your precious feedback. Work on the limit has been prioritised since last year. Stay tuned :wink:


Excellent, thank you Rudi. Don't feel like moving off this platform as it works really well and I like it. Just the videos really missing…

Any idea when we can expect to get this feature/update? 


It's a long mountain for us to climb @CLINTJ and I don't have many details as of now. But as soon as I hear more about it, I'll let you know :wink:

About the limit, we're expecting more news in the next couple of months, hopefully! I'll also keep the whole community updated about this :pray_tone2:


I agree that Deezer does need videos. I like the Deezer sessions. Short home filmed by artists who are emerging would be ideal.


I like the Sessions too @DrEvil 

Thanks for the feedback :relaxed:


It would be nice to have the videoclips of each song available (yes, somehow like YouTube Music does). But, please don’t do it like Spotify! Please no! They just put a clip that makes no sense at all.

Or the full videoclip or nothing.

BTW: It’s a great idea!


Thanks a lot @LucasDondo I like the comparison with the other streaming platform, well noted :relaxed:


Hi. 

I would love to have videos. 

Specially live conserts with good sound / picture quality. 

I had Spotify before, change to Tidal because of sound quality. I tried Deezer for a few months, but missed video and consert album.

Now im thinking about change back to Deezer because of my lg65cx tv connected to stereo don't support Tidal. Deezer it supports 🤪😊

Hahaha thank you for the feedback and support @Jan Arild Helgestad 

We need more users like you, with that experience!

You are most welcomed back!

It’s usually seven o’clock in the morning

When my speaker with Deezer awakes

My weird mood slowly rises up

‘Cause it’s the best day of the year

Just follow me and dance!

Thank you for listening your music on Deezer, let’s reunite.


* What do you think?

It's a great idea! 

 

* Would you like to have videos on Deezer?

Yes! Especially on dedicated apps like the Samsung TV app, but also on any other app. 

Videos have their place. Anyone remember MTV back in the 90s? :) 

 

* What type of video content would you be interested in?

Oh loads! Party mixes, lounge music, jazz clubs, live performances, and of course all normal official music videos in HQ. 

 

* Where in the app would you prefer to find them?

A dedicated section to make it easier to find. But also in:

#video tags, Related videos context menu, In album and artist view as sections. 


Only for concerts and music videos but the music intended for listening should stay as it is, maybe make way of packaging albums to have more images and content so simulate a Vinyl copy experience. But still have a mode thats minimalistic streaming and then a mode that is more fan related.


Great feedback here @Marin L @A.LeC thanks a lot! :grin:

Keep them coming!


No thanks. 

Best to do what you do so well! 

Besides, requires greater bandwidth, more data and probably more dollars for a subscription.  

I love Deezer as it is. Please dont tinker. 


Adding Videos would be probably the best idea and change that would happen in Deezer.

Currently 50% of my day goes in YouTube, so I can watch… well… music videos. The same goes for my friends.

Especially when you have home gatherings, everybody starts streming some music… videos. 

The user should have the ability to choose only videos, or only music. The mixes should be also separate. 

For example, I might watch a lot Marilyn Manson videos, but would not watch some dumb dubstep clips which I might listen to. (That’s just example)

“Video Flow” would be also cool. 

Showing the lyrics on top of the video would be even better.

 

One cool thing which misses everywhere is to be able to switch dynamically between video/ song. E.g. you find a cool song, but haven’t seen the video, you become interested, however the video is available in Deezer’s library, there should be a button to quickly switch to the video. 

 

Thank you and I hope videos finally arrive. I’m tired of youtube.

That’s open on YouTube music. You can fly from song to the video and other way around.

Well, that’s only good thing about it… hope videos music in Deezer.


No thanks.

That shouldn’t be the case as long as they offer 4K videos only as Hifi perk.

HD Full should be then Premium perk and free users can enjoy only SD video. Video traffic can add the cost of streaming, but I guess they can sort it out without going at your wallet too much.

Apple Music offers video streaming at less than 5 euros, Tidal also at 5. I guess it’s not that big issue. 


Each to their own I guess. 

 

I bought some Sonos gear and got a free 12 month subscription to Deezer, about 7 years ago. At the time Deezer wasn’t well known, it was all about that other Spotty streamer , but I was hooked. The ever expanding library, the sound quality, the ease of use, all of these things are what I like. 

If Deezer offered video, I would hope that it would simply be a different type of subscription. For me, I would choose audio only. Where I live and travel, Deezer plays in my home or my car, we travel very long distances and our phone networks are patchy to say the least, buffering and saved playlists  takes care of the WiFi black spots. 

I have an Amazon/ Prime subscription. Being a Gen X kid from the 70s, Amazon has a massive library of music videos,  concerts, classic albums, docos, etc that I am exploring. Just watched Deep Purple Live in Verona in 4K through my home cinema. What an amazing experience.

I can’t understand why people think that the video will eat their data and that’s why it should not be implemented…? Play the videos if you want to. I guess they won’t be forcing anybody  as any other isn’t. 


Only if it’s special videos with a commentary about the song made by the artist, or the Official Music Video. It should be optional, and canvas-like (similar to Spotify). However, I personally don’t like that feature in Spotify (nor the Spotify app itself, that’s why I’m a Deezer customer). Like other people have already said in the replies, this isn’t YouTube. What I love the most about Deezer is the interface and the lyrics, I don’t see how adding videos would keep it simple just like it’s always been. But I wouldn’t mind as long as it is optional, it might even attract more customers to the app. If it’s incorporated in a way that doesn’t entirely change the interface, cool!
