[Xbox] Cross-device Volume Control - Xbox via Connect

Hello 

 

Unfortunately, the volume can no longer be changed via PC or smartphone on Xbox when the Spotify client is running on Xbox. However, this function still existed until last week. Have you permanently removed them or will they come back with the next updates? Unfortunately, the missing feature takes a little bit of the option to use the Xbox as a media center.

Hey folks,

 

Thanks for coming to the Spotify Idea Exchange and voting to make this happen.

 

We're happy to announce that volume control via Connect is now available on Xbox. This feature is now accessible with version 2.22.9.70 for Spotify on Xbox, so make sure to check for updates. 

 

If afterwards there're any issues, we recommend a reinstall of the app on both the Xbox and the controlling device.

 

Once again, thanks for all the votes and helping make this a reality!

It’s not letting me vote for whatever reason so this is me expressing my vote “vocally” bring volume control back, I have 0 idea why it was taken away in the first place.

I can't vote too, like others around here.

 

But.. please, bring it back.

I was told by Spotify that the removal of this useful feature was "expected behaviour", which is absolutely bizarre. Why would you remove features instead of adding more? Further, where was your communication on this, Spotify? When did you inform your users you were removing features?

 

Now this idea has got over your silly arbitrary vote hurdle before you'll bother paying attention to your paying customers, time to add this feature back into the app.

Bring back this function for Xbox, why would you remove it in the first place?

Weird flex to remove existing functionality!  We shoudnt have to submit and revote to restore existing functions....
