When running a function in your venue, you can control the music using the Manage My Nightlife app or use our Guest-Hosted feature to hand controls to your guests via a kiosk or personal device with crowdDJ.
About Guest-Hosted Functions
The Manage My Nightlife app allows your staff to give direct control of the music to the nominated host of the function.
For you, the benefits of Guest-Hosted Functions include:
- Staff can confidently ‘set and forget’ the function’s entertainment
- Monitoring selections is easy and staff can take back control at any time
- Guests don’t need to cable their devices to your venue’s AV system
- You have peace of mind, knowing all music being played is licensed and legal
For your guests, the benefits include:
- The power to MC their own event with volume, playback and music control
- The ability to link their Spotify account and queue playlists, when using crowdDJ on their own device
Getting started
To get started, you will need to:
- Be a Nightlife customer
- Download the free Manage My Nightlife app from the App Store or Google Play onto a device, or use the web-app on your PC
- Have your Manage My Nightlife login credentials ready
- Sign in to the app on your phone, Nightlife Tablet or PC.
To control a function on their own device, a guest will need to first download the crowdDJ app and check into your location. Alternatively, your crowdDJ Kiosk can be handed the host controls.
Handing Host Control
- On the Manage My Nightlife App, navigate to the Controls screen.
- Expand crowdDJ settings.
- Click the crowdDJ Host Devices button.
- If you are handing control to a guest’s device, ensure that the crowdDJ app is open and checked into the correct venue.
- Select the device that you are handing host controls to and then proceed to the next screen.
- Select how long you’d like that device to have host controls for.
- Once the session time is finished, the host device will return to regular crowdDJ functionality.
- Press Save and check that the guest’s device updates with Host Controls.
- If you ever need to revoke control early, navigate back to the crowdDJ Host Devices section in the Manage My Nightlife App, and click Clear Host Devices.
