Suggestion for a New Feature: Real-time Audience Interaction - message for the DJ!
I'd like to suggest a feature that could make performances even more engaging: the ability to project real-time messages from the audience.
The concept is simple:
-The audience sends messages (greetings, dedications, etc.) through a dedicated platform.
-These messages are displayed in a new section of the DJ's interface.
-The DJ has the option to review each message in an editable text box, allowing them to correct or remove inappropriate content.
-Once approved, the message can be sent with a single click to the software's TEXT function, immediately projecting it onto the screen or LED wall.
This functionality would create a unique connection with the audience, turning the LEDwall into a direct and entertaining channel of communication.

Great in principle but not in practice. I used to use Twitter as my ask the DJ feed and 95 percent of it was either insults, people complaining their song wasn't played in 5 seconds or them asking for crap music as a joke. I ran that for probably 4 years and gave up as it was actually better just doing my own thing.
I guess maybe in a corporate setting it may work but in pubs or clubs where alcohol is involved it's just asking for trouble.

To also clarify a bit on @kradcliffe's response - this is probably already doable with Ask The DJ (it takes general text from a user and that goes directly to the Ask The DJ folder in the software) and vdjscript (polling of the folder contents + usage of a Video overlay and shader to display text + custom button to change some text property on the overlay/shader).
I'm also not sure if this is useful as a general pre-prepared solution/dedicated feature based on the same reasons @kradcliffe listed, but it can be done (looking at skin scripts and talking with vdjscript experts like @locodog could get you on your way).

Those where the days when Tellyvisuals was working, I used it with pushbullet (through phone) and twitter to get messages on the screen. It was in my opinion the best time I used Vdj on the gigs.
