Videos on Deezer? Give us your feedback!

: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:

I actually would love to have videos in Deezer.

I would love to watch and hear the musicvideos of my favorite artists.

This would be a very exciting feature, which the competition (except for YouTube Music) - doesn't offer.

I think Deezer should further investigate this idea, and seriously consider implementing it.

Both Tidal and Apple Music offer Music video clips. The problem I have with it is that they are somehow limited. For example in YouTube, you can find usually all band’s videos, while in Apple Music you see just 5-6, which sucks, then again you need to go to YouTube, watch like 4 commercials or pay another subscription...
 

At this point, it’s more relevant to pay for YouTube Premium where you also get the Music and have both videos and music without adds, than to pay for music streaming service and additionally for youtube just to be able to watch the videos from your favorite bands. 

Anyway, I hate YouTube and prefer not to use it. If I find alternative, i’d gladly pay for it. :)

As for the spotify moving covers, they’re useless. Why would anyone want to look at 3~5 second video on loop, instead of the real video of the song. Especially on TV or something else with screen… ? I can’t understand that. I just think they’ve made it because it’s cheaper for them and probably easier and because they’ve realized that people do not like to look at static text. :thinking: 
The video can usually change your perspective of the song and its meaning, so I think it’s importaint for some songs to come bundled with the video. Of course, you should be able to turn it off as you can in Apple Music.

Deezer can do this wery easy.

The artists folder contains videos, concerts, and so on in separate from the already music in the artists folder.

Like this example. 

Madonna 

Popular Tracks

Albums

Singles 

Viedos

Concerts 

Then you can choose video if you want. 

Library just gets bigger. 

 

And please stay away from mqa. 

There are lots of hifi people here in Norway that run away from Tidal to Qobuz because of quality.

No videos please.  It only distracts me from my listening experience.  I think Deezer should just focus purely on music streaming and how to improve it further.  Youtube already exists for videos. I think the extra bandwidth and effort can be put to better use on higher quality music streaming instead like 24-bit/96kHz or 192kHz Hi-Res FLAC to probably compete with Qobuz and AmazonHD.  I agree with @Jan Arild Helgestad, Tidal's MQA is crap so don't go down that path!

Anyway, I am already happy with Deezer's HiFi offering but I am sure there's a small market for Hi-Res music streaming, I am just not sure if it's sustainable and profitable on your end.

Im my opinion please stick to music. 

 

Focus on improving the quality of the desktop app and dont loose sight of your core business - MUSIC

 

Leave videos for you tubers etc… Cant stand. I would really like a better desktop app instead.
