DJive Plugins
DJIVE Video Wall
The crowd on your screens: live, moderated, and built for the booth.
DJIVE Video Wall is a VirtualDJ video overlay for clubs, bars, and events. Guests join the free venue Wi-Fi, scan a QR on the TV, and send shoutouts, song requests, and photos. You approve what goes up. The room reacts. The night stays on the wall.
Currently this is a Windows ONLY plugin i will look at Mac in the future however i do not use a Mac so my understanding is less with it. I am a single person working on this and everything below is live and working. I DJ every weekend and have been for over 20 years. Ive always been a fan of video and trying to get people to interact more easily with myself and others but on trying many different walls like this i could never find something that was modern and easy to use.. So DJive was born and after weeks of live testing and many many hours of work to bring it to a state that I believe would really benefit people, here is my first release (Pending Approval) I will try to be as active as i can here to answer any questions about the plugin.
The night, in one loop
1. QR card: The TV shows a QR card: join the free venue Wi-Fi, then scan. Short lines fade in and out with what you can do once you are in.
2. Guest wall: Phones open the guest wall: Live, Message the DJ, and Tip the DJ (when you have a pay link).
3. Send: People send a shoutout, pick a track from your library, snap a photo, or tip you.
4. Approve: You approve it from the booth (or auto-approve shoutouts and photos when you want the room to run itself). Tips wait on the Tips tab until you confirm them.
5. On the wall: The post hits the big highlight, then drops into the chat stack so the wall keeps a record of the night.
6. React: Guests react with emoji. You can run a live vote. Certain words on a shoutout fire a backdrop animation behind the panels.
On the TV
A clean overlay on your VirtualDJ video output:
Chat stack: approved shoutouts, requests, photos, and tips, colour-coded by type (tips in gold).
Big highlight: new posts pop large (photos even larger), stay for the time you set (3-15 seconds), then settle into the chat. A tip highlight rains gold coins and hearts behind the panels.
QR card: join the free Wi-Fi and scan, then short lines fade through what guests can do: shoutouts, request a song from the DJ's song list, send a photo, vote in live polls, tip the DJ (when you have a pay link), and react. The guest join address stays off the screens; it is only for you. After the QR, a centred block holds the logo, the join lines, and the website along the bottom of that block at half the size of the other text so nothing overlaps.
Live vote: title, timer, and 2-4 bars that fill as votes come in. When a message is up, the highlight splits (message one side, vote the other). When the wall is idle, the vote goes full-size. Idle shoutout replays pause until the vote ends. A unique winner gets a gold WINNER and a glow; a draw or no votes shows red NO WINNER with a thumbs down.
Word backdrops: party animations play behind the panels so names and messages stay readable.
Edit layout: drag the three boxes (chat, QR, highlight) into place. VirtualDJ remembers the positions. Pulse with the beat, set opacity, and pick colours for shoutouts, requests, and photos.
On guest phones
Phones on the venue Wi-Fi get a simple three-tab page. The DJIVE logo (or your Pro logo) is tappable and opens the brand website. The logo sits in the centre.
Live
On screen: see what is on the screens right now.
React: 👍 ❤️ 😂 🔥 👏 🎉 (optional full emoji picker).
Vote: when you start a poll: one tap per phone, or unlimited if you turn that on.
Message the DJ
Shout out: name plus a short message (up to 180 characters).
Request: search the DJ’s actual VirtualDJ library by song or artist, including this PC and any plugged-in VirtualDJ drive. It matches as you type (temp finds temperature). Remixes and close names of the same track collapse to one result, but every different song still shows. No fake “anything goes” box: they pick a track you have. Repeat requests stack so you see how many people want it. In the booth you can still search that song in VirtualDJ if you want another version.
Photo: from the camera roll or take one on the spot.
Tip the DJ
Pay link: only appears once you paste a PayPal or bank pay-me link in Settings.
Amount: name, optional message, then £2 / £5 / £10 / £20 (or type another amount).
PayPal and bank: if you set both, they get Tip DJ with PayPal and Tip DJ with bank. DJIVE never takes the money or saves payment details: it only opens the link.
Wall queue: if this is on, that tap lands on your Tips tab so you can confirm it before the room sees it.
You can switch off messages, requests, or photos independently. If a type is off, it disappears from their phone. Tipping only appears once you paste a PayPal or bank pay-me link in Settings.
In the booth
Two ways to run the night: same tools. A bar under the tabs shows this week's shoutouts, requests, votes, and tips (12/200) or Pro Plan Unlimited.
Native moderator: inside VirtualDJ (Open moderator on the plugin).
Browser moderator: at http://127.0.0.1:8787/mod if you want it on a laptop or tablet in the booth.
Messages: Approve & show, reject, view a photo full-size before it goes up, or block that phone.
Requests: your library, live from VirtualDJ. Columns: When · Song · Qty. Search a selected track in VirtualDJ, mark Played (green) or Refuse (red) so you can organise the list without wiping it, then clear when you are done. Duplicate asks for the same song, including remixes, stack into one line with a count.
Tips: guest tips wait here. They do not auto-post, even if auto-approve is on. Check the money in your app, then Approve & show so the gold shout hits the wall with coins and hearts. Reject or block from here too. Free greys this tab with Purchase Pro plan to unlock. A PRO tag marks Tips, Album, and Brand.
Rejected: kept on purpose. Restore a post you bounced too fast, or block / unblock that phone from here.
Live: everything currently on the wall. Show a favourite again, remove one, view the photo, or block. Reacts stay unlimited on Free.
Vote: title, 2-4 options, and a timer you set as length (00:00:00 with + / -) or end at local time on this PC (e.g. 19:59). Start / stop from the booth. Guests vote on Live. Bars on the TV fill with the count, shake, and pop a colour burst at the tip as they grow. When time is up, a unique winner gets a gold WINNER in the timer slot, losing bars ease out, and that answer glows. A draw or no votes shows red NO WINNER with a thumbs down, and every bar eases out. After the Free poll is used, the start controls grey out with the Pro unlock link until next week.
Settings: open Settings, then pick a tab for that group of options:
Display: overlay, QR card, beat pulse, edit layout, auto-approve, idle repeat, pop-up, time on screen, opacity, and chat colours.
Guests: what phones can send (messages, requests, photos), full emoji picker, multiple reactions, unlimited voting. Photos has a PRO tag and is off on Free.
Tips: paste PayPal.Me and a bank pay-me (Monzo, Revolut, or Starling). Settings tells you where to copy each link. Turn on “queue tips so you can show them on the wall” if you want each tap to land on the Tips tab for you to confirm. Free greys this tab until you go Pro. A PRO tag marks it.
Album: photos save to a folder you choose so you keep a night album. Open it, change it, or clear it. Free greys this tab until you go Pro. A PRO tag marks it.
Brand: Pro: your venue website and PNG logo on the QR card and guest phones. PNG with a transparent background. Wide 800 x 200 works best; square 512 x 512 also works. Max 2 MB. Free always shows DJIVE. A PRO tag marks it.
Blocked: unblock one phone or all of them.
Account: log in, paste a Pro key, or open the DJIVE site to pay. Log out forgets the saved email, password, and key and puts the wall back on Free. Install Node lives here, and also on the first-run Update screen if Node is not on this PC. When Node is ready the button reads Node installed and cannot be clicked.
Show next, skip, clear chat, and browser mod stay at the bottom of Settings.
Info: open Info in the booth moderator for the full guide without leaving the mix. Inner tabs cover Start, Features, Booth, Vote, Tips, Words, Help, and Update: how the night runs, what is on the TV and phones, how to vote and tip, the word list, what to try if something is off, and this PC vs DJive. The first time, Info only shows Update. If Node is not on this PC, tap Install Node first. Update stays locked until Node is ready, then it says Click Update. Nothing downloads until you tap Update. When it finishes, please restart VirtualDJ so it can load if the plugin itself was replaced. If DJive cannot be reached, the tab says so. The same pages are on the browser moderator.
Close the moderator with X; reopen it from the plugin. A tray icon keeps it in reach.
Live voting
Run a crowd poll without leaving the mix.
Title: custom title (“Who is having the best night?”, “Next anthem?”, “Bride or groom?”).
Answers: two to four.
Timer: countdown on phones and on the TV: length from a few seconds up to 24 hours, or end at a clock time on the DJ PC.
Votes: one vote per phone by default. Turn on unlimited voting when you want a noise-meter, not a ballot.
Result: when it ends with a unique winner, a gold WINNER takes the timer slot, losing bars ease out, and that answer glows. A draw or no votes shows red NO WINNER with a thumbs down, and every bar eases out. Then the vote clears, or stop it yourself.
Idle replay: while a vote is running, idle shoutout replay pauses so the poll stays the focus.
Tipping
Set this up once in Settings, then guests can buy you a drink from their phone.
Paste the links: you can add PayPal and a bank so people have more than one way to pay:
PayPal: in PayPal, open PayPal.Me and copy paypal.me/YourName.
Monzo: in the Monzo app, Payments → Pay me, copy monzo.me/yourname.
Revolut: copy your Revolut.me link (revolut.me/yourname).
Starling: in the app, create a Settle Up link and paste that.
High-street banks (Barclays, HSBC, NatWest, Lloyds and the rest) do not give you a simple “pay me” web link. PayPal or a neobank is the seamless route.
Guests pick an amount, can leave a short message, then tap Tip DJ with PayPal or Tip DJ with bank. No payment details are saved and none of their info is used. All payments go through the bank or PayPal. DJIVE only acts as a link between them and you.
Queue for the wall: when this is on, tapping Tip lands on your Tips tab. You confirm it, then their name, “tipped £5”, and any message hit the chat and the big highlight (gold, with coins and hearts behind the panels). Turn it off if you want the pay link without a public shout.
The wall shows the tap you approved, not a bank confirmation, so you still check the money in your app before you hit Approve & show.
Word animations
If a shoutout or photo caption contains these whole words, a backdrop plays for as long as that highlight is up. Requests and tips do not trigger them. Effects sit behind the chat, QR, and highlight so people can still read. A tip highlight always rains gold coins and hearts. There is a big list of trigger words in the help section.
You stay in control
Approve first: nothing hits the TV until you say so, unless you turn auto-approve on for shoutouts and photos. Tips still wait on the Tips tab.
Check photos: click a guest photo in the queue to check it full-size first.
Block: block a phone if someone is a problem. Unblock later from Settings.
Quieter set: turn off photos, requests, or messages.
Album folder: guest photos land in your album folder, not loose on the plugin drive.
Starts and stops with VirtualDJ: the local server starts with VirtualDJ and stops when VirtualDJ closes.
Built for VirtualDJ
DJIVE Video Wall is a Video FX overlay. Add it on the output that feeds the TV.
Enable DJIVE Video Wall on that video slot. The booth menu opens when you start the plugin. The first time, Install Node if it is not on this PC. Update stays locked until Node is ready. Then it says Click Update. Tap Update to download the rest of DJIVE from DJive. After that the full booth menu unlocks.
Open Info, Update to see this PC version and the DJive version. Tap Update to install. Nothing downloads until you tap it. When it finishes, please restart VirtualDJ so it can load if the plugin itself was replaced. If DJive cannot be reached, the tab says so.
If guest phones will not load, open Settings, Account and tap Install Node. When it is done the button reads Node installed.
Why it works in a real room
No URL on the wall: guests already have phones. You already have a TV. DJIVE connects them without putting a URL on the wall.
Your song list: requests are from your song list, so you are not hunting tracks you do not own.
Highlight and chat: the highlight is a moment; the chat is the memory of the night.
Crowd bits: voting and word FX give you bits you can call on the mic: “say birthday”, “vote now”, and the screens do the rest.
Busy booth: moderation is built for it: approve, refuse, played, block, next, skip. No extra app to babysit.
DJIVE: DJ Interactive Visual Experience.
The crowd, on the wall, under your control.
The crowd on your screens: live, moderated, and built for the booth.
DJIVE Video Wall is a VirtualDJ video overlay for clubs, bars, and events. Guests join the free venue Wi-Fi, scan a QR on the TV, and send shoutouts, song requests, and photos. You approve what goes up. The room reacts. The night stays on the wall.

The night, in one loop
1. QR card: The TV shows a QR card: join the free venue Wi-Fi, then scan. Short lines fade in and out with what you can do once you are in.
2. Guest wall: Phones open the guest wall: Live, Message the DJ, and Tip the DJ (when you have a pay link).
3. Send: People send a shoutout, pick a track from your library, snap a photo, or tip you.
4. Approve: You approve it from the booth (or auto-approve shoutouts and photos when you want the room to run itself). Tips wait on the Tips tab until you confirm them.
5. On the wall: The post hits the big highlight, then drops into the chat stack so the wall keeps a record of the night.
6. React: Guests react with emoji. You can run a live vote. Certain words on a shoutout fire a backdrop animation behind the panels.
On the TV
A clean overlay on your VirtualDJ video output:
Chat stack: approved shoutouts, requests, photos, and tips, colour-coded by type (tips in gold).
Big highlight: new posts pop large (photos even larger), stay for the time you set (3-15 seconds), then settle into the chat. A tip highlight rains gold coins and hearts behind the panels.
QR card: join the free Wi-Fi and scan, then short lines fade through what guests can do: shoutouts, request a song from the DJ's song list, send a photo, vote in live polls, tip the DJ (when you have a pay link), and react. The guest join address stays off the screens; it is only for you. After the QR, a centred block holds the logo, the join lines, and the website along the bottom of that block at half the size of the other text so nothing overlaps.
Live vote: title, timer, and 2-4 bars that fill as votes come in. When a message is up, the highlight splits (message one side, vote the other). When the wall is idle, the vote goes full-size. Idle shoutout replays pause until the vote ends. A unique winner gets a gold WINNER and a glow; a draw or no votes shows red NO WINNER with a thumbs down.
Word backdrops: party animations play behind the panels so names and messages stay readable.
Edit layout: drag the three boxes (chat, QR, highlight) into place. VirtualDJ remembers the positions. Pulse with the beat, set opacity, and pick colours for shoutouts, requests, and photos.
On guest phones
Phones on the venue Wi-Fi get a simple three-tab page. The DJIVE logo (or your Pro logo) is tappable and opens the brand website. The logo sits in the centre.

React: 👍 ❤️ 😂 🔥 👏 🎉 (optional full emoji picker).
Vote: when you start a poll: one tap per phone, or unlimited if you turn that on.
Message the DJ
Shout out: name plus a short message (up to 180 characters).
Request: search the DJ’s actual VirtualDJ library by song or artist, including this PC and any plugged-in VirtualDJ drive. It matches as you type (temp finds temperature). Remixes and close names of the same track collapse to one result, but every different song still shows. No fake “anything goes” box: they pick a track you have. Repeat requests stack so you see how many people want it. In the booth you can still search that song in VirtualDJ if you want another version.
Photo: from the camera roll or take one on the spot.
Tip the DJ
Pay link: only appears once you paste a PayPal or bank pay-me link in Settings.
Amount: name, optional message, then £2 / £5 / £10 / £20 (or type another amount).
PayPal and bank: if you set both, they get Tip DJ with PayPal and Tip DJ with bank. DJIVE never takes the money or saves payment details: it only opens the link.
Wall queue: if this is on, that tap lands on your Tips tab so you can confirm it before the room sees it.
You can switch off messages, requests, or photos independently. If a type is off, it disappears from their phone. Tipping only appears once you paste a PayPal or bank pay-me link in Settings.
In the booth
Two ways to run the night: same tools. A bar under the tabs shows this week's shoutouts, requests, votes, and tips (12/200) or Pro Plan Unlimited.
Native moderator: inside VirtualDJ (Open moderator on the plugin).

Duplicate asks for the same song, including remixes, stack into one line with a count.
Tips: guest tips wait here. They do not auto-post, even if auto-approve is on. Check the money in your app, then Approve & show so the gold shout hits the wall with coins and hearts. Reject or block from here too. Free greys this tab with Purchase Pro plan to unlock. A PRO tag marks Tips, Album, and Brand.
Rejected: kept on purpose. Restore a post you bounced too fast, or block / unblock that phone from here.
Live: everything currently on the wall. Show a favourite again, remove one, view the photo, or block. Reacts stay unlimited on Free.
Vote: title, 2-4 options, and a timer you set as length (00:00:00 with + / -) or end at local time on this PC (e.g. 19:59). Start / stop from the booth. Guests vote on Live. Bars on the TV fill with the count, shake, and pop a colour burst at the tip as they grow. When time is up, a unique winner gets a gold WINNER in the timer slot, losing bars ease out, and that answer glows. A draw or no votes shows red NO WINNER with a thumbs down, and every bar eases out. After the Free poll is used, the start controls grey out with the Pro unlock link until next week.
Settings: open Settings, then pick a tab for that group of options:
Display: overlay, QR card, beat pulse, edit layout, auto-approve, idle repeat, pop-up, time on screen, opacity, and chat colours.
Guests: what phones can send (messages, requests, photos), full emoji picker, multiple reactions, unlimited voting. Photos has a PRO tag and is off on Free.
Tips: paste PayPal.Me and a bank pay-me (Monzo, Revolut, or Starling). Settings tells you where to copy each link. Turn on “queue tips so you can show them on the wall” if you want each tap to land on the Tips tab for you to confirm. Free greys this tab until you go Pro. A PRO tag marks it.
Album: photos save to a folder you choose so you keep a night album. Open it, change it, or clear it. Free greys this tab until you go Pro. A PRO tag marks it.
Brand: Pro: your venue website and PNG logo on the QR card and guest phones. PNG with a transparent background. Wide 800 x 200 works best; square 512 x 512 also works. Max 2 MB. Free always shows DJIVE. A PRO tag marks it.
Blocked: unblock one phone or all of them.
Account: log in, paste a Pro key, or open the DJIVE site to pay. Log out forgets the saved email, password, and key and puts the wall back on Free. Install Node lives here, and also on the first-run Update screen if Node is not on this PC. When Node is ready the button reads Node installed and cannot be clicked.
Show next, skip, clear chat, and browser mod stay at the bottom of Settings.
Info: open Info in the booth moderator for the full guide without leaving the mix. Inner tabs cover Start, Features, Booth, Vote, Tips, Words, Help, and Update: how the night runs, what is on the TV and phones, how to vote and tip, the word list, what to try if something is off, and this PC vs DJive. The first time, Info only shows Update. If Node is not on this PC, tap Install Node first. Update stays locked until Node is ready, then it says Click Update. Nothing downloads until you tap Update. When it finishes, please restart VirtualDJ so it can load if the plugin itself was replaced. If DJive cannot be reached, the tab says so. The same pages are on the browser moderator.
Close the moderator with X; reopen it from the plugin. A tray icon keeps it in reach.
Live voting
Run a crowd poll without leaving the mix.
Title: custom title (“Who is having the best night?”, “Next anthem?”, “Bride or groom?”).
Answers: two to four.
Timer: countdown on phones and on the TV: length from a few seconds up to 24 hours, or end at a clock time on the DJ PC.
Votes: one vote per phone by default. Turn on unlimited voting when you want a noise-meter, not a ballot.
Result: when it ends with a unique winner, a gold WINNER takes the timer slot, losing bars ease out, and that answer glows. A draw or no votes shows red NO WINNER with a thumbs down, and every bar eases out. Then the vote clears, or stop it yourself.
Idle replay: while a vote is running, idle shoutout replay pauses so the poll stays the focus.
Tipping
Set this up once in Settings, then guests can buy you a drink from their phone.
Paste the links: you can add PayPal and a bank so people have more than one way to pay:
PayPal: in PayPal, open PayPal.Me and copy paypal.me/YourName.
Monzo: in the Monzo app, Payments → Pay me, copy monzo.me/yourname.
Revolut: copy your Revolut.me link (revolut.me/yourname).
Starling: in the app, create a Settle Up link and paste that.
High-street banks (Barclays, HSBC, NatWest, Lloyds and the rest) do not give you a simple “pay me” web link. PayPal or a neobank is the seamless route.
Guests pick an amount, can leave a short message, then tap Tip DJ with PayPal or Tip DJ with bank. No payment details are saved and none of their info is used. All payments go through the bank or PayPal. DJIVE only acts as a link between them and you.
Queue for the wall: when this is on, tapping Tip lands on your Tips tab. You confirm it, then their name, “tipped £5”, and any message hit the chat and the big highlight (gold, with coins and hearts behind the panels). Turn it off if you want the pay link without a public shout.
The wall shows the tap you approved, not a bank confirmation, so you still check the money in your app before you hit Approve & show.
Word animations
If a shoutout or photo caption contains these whole words, a backdrop plays for as long as that highlight is up. Requests and tips do not trigger them. Effects sit behind the chat, QR, and highlight so people can still read. A tip highlight always rains gold coins and hearts. There is a big list of trigger words in the help section.
You stay in control
Approve first: nothing hits the TV until you say so, unless you turn auto-approve on for shoutouts and photos. Tips still wait on the Tips tab.
Check photos: click a guest photo in the queue to check it full-size first.
Block: block a phone if someone is a problem. Unblock later from Settings.
Quieter set: turn off photos, requests, or messages.
Album folder: guest photos land in your album folder, not loose on the plugin drive.
Starts and stops with VirtualDJ: the local server starts with VirtualDJ and stops when VirtualDJ closes.
Built for VirtualDJ
DJIVE Video Wall is a Video FX overlay. Add it on the output that feeds the TV.
Enable DJIVE Video Wall on that video slot. The booth menu opens when you start the plugin. The first time, Install Node if it is not on this PC. Update stays locked until Node is ready. Then it says Click Update. Tap Update to download the rest of DJIVE from DJive. After that the full booth menu unlocks.
Open Info, Update to see this PC version and the DJive version. Tap Update to install. Nothing downloads until you tap it. When it finishes, please restart VirtualDJ so it can load if the plugin itself was replaced. If DJive cannot be reached, the tab says so.
If guest phones will not load, open Settings, Account and tap Install Node. When it is done the button reads Node installed.
Why it works in a real room
No URL on the wall: guests already have phones. You already have a TV. DJIVE connects them without putting a URL on the wall.
Your song list: requests are from your song list, so you are not hunting tracks you do not own.
Highlight and chat: the highlight is a moment; the chat is the memory of the night.
Crowd bits: voting and word FX give you bits you can call on the mic: “say birthday”, “vote now”, and the screens do the rest.
Busy booth: moderation is built for it: approve, refuse, played, block, next, skip. No extra app to babysit.
