crowdDJ Scan To Play lets users easily view or add brand-safe songs to your playlist by simply scanning a QR code — no app download required.

How it Works
Users scan the QR code
From their own devices, your customers, guests or members can easily launch a web version of the crowdDJ app by scanning a Scan To Play QR code. These can be displayed on screens, posters, discs and more.
Users can browse or request tracks
Using crowdDJ Scan To Play, users can see what’s currently playing, explore the playlist and even add brand-safe songs to the queue (where permitted).
- crowdDJ requests can be turned ON or OFF using Manage My Nightlife
- If requests are turned OFF, users will only be able to browse the playlist
- All selections are from your brand-safe library
Staff and managers can manage the requests
Using crowdDJ Control or Manage My Nightlife, staff and managers can see, monitor and manage Scan To Play requests, including rearranging the order or removing songs that don’t suit the energy or atmosphere.
