Presenters

Spotify Connect Device Switcher for Presenters

Jump playback between the Web Player and other devices.

💡 Overview

Sometimes the right speaker is not the one in front of you. Slides, speaker notes and rehearsal recordings overlap.

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 Presenters

Slides, speaker notes and rehearsal recordings overlap.

The problem: Music must be silent before you hit record.

The fix: Practice pause-only as part of your rehearsal setup.

🚀 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.
