Question 1

What is DJIVE?

Accepted Answer

It's a VirtualDJ plugin that puts a guest wall on the TV you're already using. There's a QR, a big card for whatever is happening, and a chat down the side. People join the venue Wi-Fi, scan, and send a shoutout, a song request, or a photo. You choose what goes up from the booth.

Question 2

Do I have to buy an LED wall?

Accepted Answer

No. If the room already has a TV, a projector, or an LED wall, leave that as it is. DJIVE sits on the VirtualDJ output that feeds it. We don't sell screens.

Question 3

How do I install it?

Accepted Answer

In VirtualDJ, open the add-ons and search for DJIVE. Or quit VirtualDJ, download the zip, and copy DJIVE Video Wall.dll into VirtualDJ's VideoEffect folder. Open VirtualDJ, turn DJIVE Video Wall on for that screen, and the first time tap Install Node if it asks, then Update. The booth opens with the plugin. The full steps are on the FAQ page, under Guide.

Question 4

Do guests need an app?

Accepted Answer

No. They use the browser on their phone. On the normal setup they join the venue Wi-Fi and scan. The address is not written on the TV. If that Wi-Fi blocks phones from your computer, switch to Online in Settings, IP Config. The QR then uses a DJive.co.uk link.

Question 5

What does Pro cost?

Accepted Answer

£10 for one month, or subscribe and it takes £10 a month until you cancel. A year is £110 for 365 days, and that does not renew. A year saves a month against paying £10 twelve times, and it adds on top of any time you already have left. Photos, tips, pub games, word animations, and your own logo are on Pro. A company with a few venues uses Business Whitelist: £24 a month for 3 venues at £8 each. Each extra venue is £10 a month. Each of those computers is Pro, and the venue panel opens on this site.

Question 6

What if phones can't reach my computer?

Accepted Answer

Open Settings, IP Config, and choose Online. Phones and your PC then use a DJive.co.uk link, so a venue Wi-Fi that blocks the computer still works. Apply Change and Restart Server turns it on without closing VirtualDJ. The normal setup is port 8787. Custom is a port you type. Check this PC shows the Wi-Fi name, the address, the port or the Online link, Windows Firewall, and whether you have internet.

Question 7

Is this a VirtualDJ plugin?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It's a Windows video effect called DJIVE Video Wall. You put the DLL in VirtualDJ's VideoEffect folder and turn it on for the output that goes to the screens. The booth opens when the plugin starts.

Question 8

How is this different from Ask the DJ?

Accepted Answer

Ask the DJ is a page on VirtualDJ's website. DJIVE is on your video output. Requests come from your own library, and a shoutout stays in the booth until you put it on the wall. Tips and photos have their own lists. On the normal setup the join address stays off the TV. Online is there for when the venue Wi-Fi blocks phones.

Question 9

What games can I run?

Accepted Answer

On Pro, open Games in the booth. There's Pub Quiz, Bingo, Music Bingo, Geo Guesser, Open the Box, Raffle, Prize wheel, Race Game, and Community Touch, which is Snake, Pong, or Breakout. Only one game runs at a time, and it can't run at the same time as a vote. Pub Quiz and Geo Guesser need the internet on your computer. Bingo can be 15, 30, 75, or 90 numbers. Event on Bingo is for a night with more than one game. People join once, then each game deals that game's tickets. DJIVE doesn't take a cut of any prize. The Games page has how each one works.

Question 10

Can I use Pro on more than one computer?

Accepted Answer

A normal Pro key is one computer at a time. A second PC with the same key stays on Registered. To move it, open Account on this site and unlink that computer. Quit DJIVE on the old one, then sign in on the new PC. The VirtualDJ plugin and Standalone on that computer share the sign-in. Business Whitelist is the company plan: £24 a month covers 3 venue computers at £8 each. Each extra venue is £10 a month. Each one is Pro.

Question 11

Can I change how the phones look?

Accepted Answer

On Pro, yes. Open Settings, Brand. Drop in a photo, add up to three lines, and drag the boxes on a phone preview. DJive Theme is the normal page and you can't overwrite it, so save a new look and pick that one. Free always shows DJIVE and DJive.co.uk.

Question 12

Does it work at a wedding?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In Settings, Display, TV, pick Wedding. You can run a bride or groom vote, and words like wedding, marry, and birthday play a backdrop behind the panels. The booth stays the same, so you're not learning a new screen on the day.

Question 13

Do you take the tip money?

Accepted Answer

No. You paste your own PayPal.Me link, or a pay-me link from Monzo, Revolut, or Starling. The phone opens that. DJIVE doesn't take the money or save card details. The tip sits on your Tips tab until you've checked it and put it on the wall.

Question 14

Will it slow VirtualDJ down?

Accepted Answer

It sits on the video slot you already use, and the video keeps playing when a shoutout goes up. It starts with VirtualDJ and stops when you close VirtualDJ. Nothing extra downloads unless you tap Update in the booth.

Question 15

Where is the full guide?

Accepted Answer

On this page, press Guide, then pick VirtualDJ plugin or Standalone. The same guide is in your account, under Guide. It walks a night: install, phones, the booth, each game, and what to try if something fails.
