Videos on Deezer? Give us your feedback!

Thanks Billion, I agree. Deezer for me is to listen to music, not watch a video. I have my own YouTube Channel, and on there I create playlists and all, and share with others etc. 

I listen to Deezer on my smartphone as I drive the car everywhere, as I lie in bed, and on my PC laptop as I work at the desk, and around the house. I don’t need videos for anything of this activity.

And yeah, it wud be a big cost for Deezer like you said in bandwidth and hundreds of other costs.

Plus I like things simple. Not too busy and complicated. 

Cheers,, 

No. Deezer has a long list of user-requested features that's been 'under review' for years including gapless playback, a Linux version of the app, elimination of the 2000 track limit, a family hifi plan and so on. Please focus on prioritizing and delivering these and other  highly-requested items before adding to the pile and further diluting your developer's limited bandwidth. 

There are other features and improvements more urgent than videos. Deezer should really focus on podcasts, it needs big improvements.

Hey @Rick P. @Gabriel Felippe Mateus 

Totally agree with you, but don't worry. This is part of the user-research we're doing and the community's opinion is always special, detailed, real.

On top of that, Videos on Deezer would be set up and investigated by a dedicated team - so we won't lose resources for all those things you mentioned @Rick P. which are all coming this year! (with the exception of the HiFi Family, we're not certain on this one yet)

Great feedback @oldrecord 

Absolutely would not want video.  I use Deezer either in the background or on the go, and in neither case am I going to watch videos.  Besides, there’s YT for that if I really need it.  

That’s not to say I wouldn’t want *some* better visual options:

• Visuallizers (oh how I miss you, winamp!)
• Maybe some cycling stills of the artist if they have them, for times when it is playing on my Xbox or Fire TV in the background. 

I’d love some kind of artist profile page, particularly for independents, which could include links maybe, but video to me would add nothing that youtube doesn’t already offer. 

@vyrgozunqk That's an interesting perspective. There are times I might like to have an endless "My Flow" in video fornat for sure, but those are few and far between, and I would hate ads if I was paying for the service. 

I know if I was sitting in Deezer' s boardroom my question would be " can we do this for free?" followed by "would people be willing to pay extra for it? (because you can't do it for free)"  I suspect the answer is no, which is when I would say if you really need to, partner with Vimeo or someone for a cut in revenues to refer content there, and let them handle it Hosting video is expensive and rife with problems managing content, licensing, etc. and I would prefer they focus on music, podcasts and maybe an occasional partner video/audio simulcast if needed, and leave it at that.  

Love the discussion here @santama @vyrgozunqk 

Very very interesting points that our teams will appreciate a lot!

There's definitely a dilemma here, I'd say that you only want videos if we get our most important things fixed and improved - and the videos have to be relevant to the artists and not intrusive. Great feedback so far, like to see both sides of the coin.

Thank you for your contribution!

If it's gonna be something like Spotify canvas, then YES YES AND YES, I'd love it, but not a full video, this is deezer and not youtube

Fair point @Dimasfos
