Apple Music, Amazon Music and Tidal may be available on other TV platforms but "Deezer is the only global music streaming service available on Vidaa", the companies announced.
The Vidaa platform is powering select TVs from Hisense, Toshiba and private-label brands. Over 15 million TVs in over 150 countries, according to the press announcement.

Since TV remains a central object in our homes, VIDAA is committed to always providing entertainment for our customers. Our partnership ensures that music fans have access to the best and most personalized content from Deezer.

With a monthly subscription plan, Deezer offers access to over 73 million songs. 70 million tracks are available in FLAC quality, which is supported on Vidaa. Later this year, Deezer will roll out support for podcasts in the Vidaa app.

A dedicated Deezer button will be added to all remote controls from Hisense starting this summer. The button will also show up eventually on some Loewe TV remote controls in Europe.
- "We always want to make sure fans can access their music service from any device. Having a dedicated Deezer button on the remote control means that users only need to tap once to dive into over 70 million tracks. Whether it’s a feel good, chill out or a party vibe that you’re after, it’s now easier than ever through the VIDAA portal" said Franziska Schwarz, VP of Partnerships at Deezer.
