Can I play on my speaker at home when I am away?
No, you must be on the same WiFi/network as the chosen audio device.
Can I use TIDAL Connect to play my offline content on my speakers?
No. When you are in offline mode, we assume you have no access to your WiFi or internet network.
I can connect to my speaker with Chromecast, Bluetooth, or TIDAL Connect. Which one should I choose and why?
If TIDAL Connect is available, choose that! TIDAL Connect supports the full range of audio quality available in the TIDAL app.
Can I listen to HiRes FLAC content through TIDAL Connect?
Select TIDAL partners support HiRes FLAC. For more information on whether your specific device is supported, please reference: https://tidal.com/supported-devices?filter=hires-flac,tidal-connect.
What does "Playing from" mean when connected to a TIDAL Connect device?
"Playing from" shows where the current track is being played from. For example, if you’re playing a playlist, the name of the playlist will appear next to "Playing from" in the top left corner of the Now Playing screen.
Why did my playback stop even though the last track had track radio available?
Not all TIDAL Connect devices currently support Autoplay. If your playback stops after the last track in the queue, it means the device you're using doesn’t have Autoplay functionality yet.
