Spotify Connect Device Switcher for Community Moderators
Jump playback between the Web Player and other devices.
💡 Overview
Sometimes the right speaker is not the one in front of you. You watch queues and chats where a missed report matters.
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.

You watch queues and chats where a missed report matters.
The problem: Looking for a music tab during a flood of reports is the wrong time.
The fix: Keep controls on hotkeys so your eyes stay on the queue.

- Open the popup and use the device icon in the header.
- Pick a device from the drawer.
- Return to the Web Player the same way.
✨ What You Get
- Floating mini-player: Popup with play, pause, next, previous, shuffle, repeat, seek and a Liked Songs toggle.
- Four default hotkeys: Shift+Alt+Up toggles play and pause, Right skips, Left goes back and Down pauses only.
- Sleep timer: Presets of 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes with a live countdown that auto-pauses playback.
