[Connect] [Kids] Add Spotify Connect support for Spotify Kids

[fergusyarrow]

When playing music through Spotify Kids, it is not possible to cast the music to a Google Chromecast audio device. This has lead to many conversations revolving around “but why can’t I put my dance party on the stereo”, and so we have to go back to the main Spotify app to get said dance party going and avert the tears 😀And with the kids stuck at home on account of school closures and lockdowns, there are a lot of dance parties happening. And they much prefer the app geared towards them than the regular app. Because the Spotify Connect feature is already implemented in the main Spotify app, it should be implemented also in the Spotify Kids app to have the same connectivity options.

I would love to be able to setup a Spotify Kids account as a service in Sonos, in order not to pollute my recommandations with my kids favorites... 🙂

I would like this feature on all Voice Assistant platforms: Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, etc.

Yes, please make Spotify Kids available through Sonos. Our toddlers love music and we often play it throughout the house. It would be great to have a place to easily find songs/playlists and not have kids songs mixed in with what my wife and I listen to. 

Thanks!

Kids Spotify needs a Sonos Connection. Either add as a service, or just enable Spotify Connect for Sonos.

I agree with this!! 

I love how easy it is to device connect the original Spotify app and play music on our Alexa Show and dot. I really want to be able to do this with the Spotify Kids App so they can play playlists on Alexa devices. We have Alexa devices in the kids rooms and living room, it would be great if they could play the music through them from the Spotify Kids App. 

I know this App just launched but I’m wondering if there will be an update to Spotify Kids App to device connect to the Alexa devices like the echo show or dot? Or will there be a new Alexa skill available to do this? Right now it’s not compatible with these devices and many parents would really appreciate this feature! Thanks!

Voting for this!!

My 3 year old loves the visual aspect of having the music up on the projector... even if it’s just the album art. It also seems like there’s an opportunity to implement some animations or other visual eye candy specifically geared towards kids once the Spotify connect / Chromecast integration is there. But it’s awesome this app even exists and I appreciate already. Baby steps 🙂

Please add this feature to Spotify Kids.

it really defeats the purpose of being able to let your several different children and the parents listen to  different music in different rooms.  Spotify Kids must have been developed for parents with ONE child. What about the other 2 or 3 kids in quarantine wanting to listen to their song in their rooms?

Us parents are now forced to switch to a different platform to listen to our music. Maybe those other players will come up with a better product to this issue if Spotify won’t.

This is the only reason why I subscribed to Spotify Family. I hope they fix this solution or I am canceling my subscription to Family.
