Dual-Monitor Power Users

Spotify Connect Device Switcher for Dual-Monitor Power Users

Jump playback between the Web Player and other devices.

💡 Overview

Sometimes the right speaker is not the one in front of you. Two screens still run out of room for a music window.

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.

🧭 A Day of Dual-Monitor Power Users

Two screens still run out of room for a music window.

The problem: Tab-switching on one screen can reorder your whole layout.

The fix: Keep the Web Player on the second monitor and control it from either screen.

🚀 Try It in Three Steps

  1. Open the popup and use the device icon in the header.
  2. Pick a device from the drawer.
  3. Return to the Web Player the same way.
