as you can see I cant get the button Create Live Stream that's below Go Live With Your Gear

Try a different browser. The button appears here when using Firefox on Windows.

Maybe just try refreshing. I'm able to create a stream on my Mac using Safari.

Remember lots of people trying to go live - so there maybe the occasional blip.

But if you choose to stick OBS in between VDJ and your streaming platform - how do you get all the relevant information from VDJ?
- like beatgrids and track titles and artist and so on
- and also visuals for effect use, loop use, filter use and so on
All the stuff that's important to visually add to your stream to make it interesting...

I mean... I've tried OBS, but it seam like a "when all else fails" platform (and technically a little sloppy IMO)
- or for people using DJ software that doesn't have any broadcasting features
It has a Windows media player visual plugin (and for a few other audio sources) - but that seems about level of what it can do

So to me it doesn't really look like a DJ tool - unless you just want to setup a couple of cameras and broadcast yourself dancing around behind your DJ gear

@klausmogensen

seriously though OBS is the swissarmy knife of streaming just like VDJ is the same with DJing

the more you learn about it the more your will realize this

@Dymo5
VDJ has everything included to broadcast on Facebook
if i were you i would be trying twitch instead less issues with getting shut down.

Do you see the "go live" button if you go to Facebook's new page https://www.facebook.com/live/producer/
They are in processing of updating the live broadcast interface.

I have now got the Create Live Stream button below Go Live with your gear now ...it seems it doesnt work with safari must be something to do with plugins or something as someone comment earlier using firefox ( which I've downloaded ) it works now thank you folks for advice 🙏

How can you turn off the EQ which you can see on screen

right-click master video preview in the skin, and un-check "use video skin"

Glad to see you got this working.

To clarify for anyone else viewing this post it is definitely not a safari issue, at least running Catalina 10.15.4 anyway.

ok you can do a lot more. I have a stream of the controller and the dj software. visualizations and plus cams one pointing at the controller from the roof and the other from head on using a dslr camera. In particle application I would us it to stream to sites dont forget you can also have live text incoming and respond to i live via mike. I do have 4x 55 inch monitors and can clone a monitor too as well as ticker tape a feed including rls feed . you could also use any addon in virtual dj at the same time . I have visual s built with custom logos.
I agree this is not the future of djing but in the mean time its a free resource.

I built templates that i recorded and then dropped as samples in to virtual dj . they looked great .

Facebook might indeed give some copyright notices, since well, music is copyrighted ;-)
For some songs this means they will clear later (sometimes you can even just click "dispute"), or worst case some muted parts of the video, even taken down.

Depends on genre and music you play.

If you want to mix without such hassles, just use Twitch instead.. can broadcast as long as you want there without any such notices during live play
(might still mute/flag some recorded parts though)

Additionally, both on Facebook and Twitch (and youtube etc), you can opt out of recording entirely, and only do live show. And have less "issue" with copyright notices ;-)

Live on Twitch now for example : https://www.twitch.tv/djcladde/ :)
