# Transfer Playback

`PUT /me/player`

Transfer playback to a new device and optionally begin playback. This API only works for users who have Spotify Premium. The order of execution is not guaranteed when you use this API with other Player API endpoints.

## Request body

- object
  - `device_ids` string[], required — A JSON array containing the ID of the device on which playback should be started/transferred.<br/>For example:`{device_ids:["74ASZWbe4lXaubB36ztrGX"]}`<br/>_**Note**: Although an array is accepted, only a single device_id is currently supported. Supplying more than one will return `400 Bad Request`_
  - `play` boolean — **true**: ensure playback happens on new device.<br/>**false** or not provided: keep the current playback state.

## Response `204`

Playback transferred

## Other responses

- `401` — Bad or expired token. This can happen if the user revoked a token or the access token has expired. You should re-authenticate the user.
- `403` — Bad OAuth request (wrong consumer key, bad nonce, expired timestamp...). Unfortunately, re-authenticating the user won't help here.
- `429` — The app has exceeded its rate limits.
