Android’s media output switcher has gotten an upgrade in Android 14. The new Output Switcher 2.0 adds improved volume controls (such as the ability to tap the volume icon to quickly mute the media), device categories (“suggested devices” followed by “speakers & displays”), and support for picking up devices with custom protocols.

The last tidbit is the most interesting, since last CES, Google said Spotify Connect devices would soon show up in the output switcher; meanwhile Android 13 devices with GMS picked up support for showing Google Cast devices in the output switcher.

Developers interested in enabling Output Switcher support and features like background casting and remote-to-local playback should check out the Google Cast developer guide and Media router docs.
