Spotify Connect Device Switcher for Photographers
Jump playback between the Web Player and other devices.
💡 Overview
Sometimes the right speaker is not the one in front of you. High-resolution files and calibrated monitors define your workspace.
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.

🚀 Try It in Three Steps
- Open the popup and use the device icon in the header.
