Yes. Music playing from one device can be controlled by a different device logged into the same account.

  1. Open The Stream and log in with your account credentials.

  2. Begin playing a track of your choosing.

3. Open the Stream via browser on another device, such as a separate computer or a cell phone, and log in with your account credentials.

4. Upon login, observe that the player with progress bar is active, reflecting the player state on the first device. Inputs from your second device – pausing, changing volume and skipping songs, – are received and processed by the primary playback device.

5. To reassign primary device playback control, find and click on the “Play…” icon. This will show you which device is currently connected and which other devices are currently online and available.

6. Select the online device you wish to use as the primary controller. You will observe its status change from “Online” to “Connected”. This device will now serve as the primary control input.
