Troubleshooting tips/strong
We all experience problems with our technology! Here are a list of some troubleshooting tips to help you.
- Make sure both your phone and computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Deezer needs these devices on the same network to detect each other for casting.
- Ensure you're using the latest version of the Deezer app on your phone
- Deezer uses Google Cast or Bluetooth for device pairing - therefore, make sure your computer supports casting (e.g., via Chrome browser or Cast-enabled apps)
- Make sure you're logged into the same Deezer account on both devices
- Ensure that permissions are enabled on your Android device. To do this go to Settings, select Apps and then Deezer before selecting Permissions. This will ensure that permissions for local network/Bluetooth and location are enabled
- Restart your devices - both your phone and computer, as rebooting can fix connectivity issues
- Try the web player - go to www.deezer.com and log into your account. Once you have successfully logged in, check on your phone application whether it now recognises your computer under output options
- You can use Bluetooth as a backup option if casting isn’t working - you can also connect your phone to your computer via Bluetooth and stream audio in this way
