DJ guide

Stream from the booth, preview your feed, earn DROP, and grow your audience.

Getting started

1

Sign up as a DJ

Choose the DJ role at /signup. Usernames are lowercase — we save what you type in lowercase. Complete your profile (display name, bio, avatar, genres) in Settings.
2

Your public profile

Fans find you at /dj/yourusername. Share this link on socials. The #membership section shows your members, community goal progress, and top supporters. Followers get notified when you go live.
3

Weekly schedule

In Settings, set your weekly stream slot(day + hour UTC). Fans see when you're expected even when you're offline.

Going live

1

Start a session

Open Go Live, enter title and genre, then confirm. You'll get an RTMP server URL and a unique stream key for OBS.
2

Preview before you publish

After your stream key is created, Go Live shows a preview step. Fans are notnotified until you click "Looks good — go live". Use preview to check video and audio. If you cancel setup, nothing is published and the session is discarded.
3

During your set

Use the dashboard to update now playing, accept or decline crowd requests, see session goals, top tippers, and live stats. Fans see a membership promo under the player — encourage them to join for early replays and perks.
4

End stream

End from the dashboard or Go Live page. Replays appear in your profile archive after the stream ends. Supporters get early VOD access — see the fan guide → Replays.

OBS setup

1

Stream settings

  • OBS → Settings → Stream → Service: Custom
  • Server: rtmp://rtmp.livebooth.uk:1935/live
  • Stream key: copy from Go Live — paste in the Stream key field only
  • Never put the stream key in the server URL
2

Start streaming

Click Start Streaming in OBS (not Preview or Virtual Cam alone). The OBS status bar should show a bitrate number(e.g. 2500 kbps), not just "Connected". Go Live detects your feed automatically when the HLS manifest is ready.
3

New session or new key?

Each Go Live session generates a new stream key. If you start a new session or cancel and restart, click Stop Streaming in OBS, paste the new key, then Start Streaming again.
4

Preview not showing video?

See Support → Stream troubleshooting for step-by-step checks. The preview page shows diagnostics when OBS looks connected but the server can't see your feed.

Earning DROP

1

Tips

Fans tip from the stream page. Default split: 90% you / 10% platform. Tips show in chat and count toward achievements and set grades.
2

Track unlocks & requests

You earn when fans unlock track IDs or when you accept paid crowd requests (after platform fee).
3

Monthly membership

Fans join at Member (25 DROP/mo) or Supporter (75 DROP/mo) on your profile. You receive 85% each billing cycle; the platform keeps 15%. Revenue is credited automatically when fans join or renew.
4

Set grades

Each ended set gets a grade (A–F) from tips, engagement, unlocks, and quests. Supporter tips count 1.1× toward the score. Grades show on your profile and VOD replays.
5

Achievements

Unlock DJ achievements for streaming milestones, tips, and followers at /achievements. Claim DROP rewards in-app; on-chain claims are available when your wallet is connected.
6

Wallet & on-chain tips

View earnings at /wallet. Connect VeWorld or create an embedded wallet (email login) to receive on-chain tips during live sets. Link your wallet address on your DJ profile so fans can tip on-chain.
7

Cash-out

Request fiat cash-out from the wallet page when available. Admin-approved payouts are processed manually.

Members & milestones

1

Who are your members?

Fans with an active membership on your profile appear in your Top members list. They get chat badges, cheaper unlocks/requests on your streams, early replay access, and a tip boost toward set grades.
2

DJ milestones

When you hit growth goals, your current members share a reward pool (split by tier — Supporter weighs more than Member). Examples:
  • 50 followers100 DROP pool
  • 250 followers300 DROP pool
  • 500 DROP/mo member support on DJ150 DROP pool
  • 1,500 DROP/mo member support on DJ400 DROP pool
  • 500 DROP tipped on streams200 DROP pool
3

Promote membership

Share your profile link and remind fans after a great set — the VOD page includes a "Back this DJ" CTA. During live sets, the membership promo appears under the player for non-host viewers. A community goal bar on your stream page tracks collective member MRR.

Collab & B2B

1

Collab mode

Invite another DJ from /collab. When both feeds are live, LiveBooth mixes host + partner into one synced stream (DJ + MC audio and video). Tips split between host and partner per your agreed ratio.
2

How to run a B2B set

Host goes live first and sends a collab invite. Partner accepts, streams from their location, and publishes. When both OBS feeds are connected, the server compositor builds one booth — fans watch the host page only. Both DJs should enable audio in OBS (mic or stream audio) for the mix.
3

Station residencies

Radio stations can add you as a resident. Your shows appear on their channel and tips may split 70% DJ / 20% station / 10% platform. When you go live as a resident, the stream shows "Presented by [Station]". See the station guide for owners.

Growth tips

  • Go live on a consistent weekly slot so fans know when to tune in
  • Update now playing often — track ID unlocks drive engagement
  • Thank tippers in chat; first-tip bonuses encourage early support
  • Check the rankings for competition context
  • Enable push so followers get notified every time you're live
  • Use the share button on Go Live and your stream page to spread your booth link
  • Encourage fans to join membership — members get early replays and milestone rewards
