Spotify Connect Device Switcher for Board Game Fans
Jump playback between the Web Player and other devices.
💡 Overview
Sometimes the right speaker is not the one in front of you. Digital tabletops run in a browser with friends on a call.
The mini-player header includes a one-click trigger for the device drawer, which lets you switch playback between the Web Player, desktop, smart speakers and phone. You can move music to another room without opening the Spotify tab.
