Spotify Connect Device Switcher for Home Cooks
Jump playback between the Web Player and other devices.
💡 Overview
Sometimes the right speaker is not the one in front of you. Your hands are wet, floury or busy, and your laptop shows a recipe.
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.

The problem: Touching the trackpad with messy hands to change a song is a small disaster.
The fix: Use a single key combination with a clean knuckle rather than hunting for a tab with the mouse.

- Pick a device from the drawer.
- Return to the Web Player the same way.
