My Question or Issue

When using the app in a small window, the volume slider is so small that we can't use it effectively. The screenshot below shows spotify taking up a little less than half of my monitor which should be plenty. There are so many extra buttons in the same tray as the volume slider (dj, now playing view, lyrics, queue, devices, miniplayer) that the slider is lost and I can't make meaningful changes to it. I wish there was a way to pop it out so that I have finer control. Seems like a significant UX issue. Thanks and have a good one

Hey @stove111,

 

Thanks for reaching out and taking the time to share your thoughts on this.

 

We've checked on our end and we see what you mean. We've forwarded your feedback to the relevant team at Spotify, however, we can't give you an ETA for when it will be addressed. 

 

In the meantime, we'd suggest using the keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl + Up arrow/Ctrl + Down arrow) to adjust the volume.

 

We hope this helps. Let us know if there's anything else.

Hi there, just want to give a suggestion. For Spotify desktop apps, the volume bar is scaled respectively with the window size, when not in maximized mode.

Maybe can fix the volume bar at full size, regarding of the window scale size.

Thanks!

attached are screenshots to help in better understanding.
