Now Playing

Your tracks on screen. Automatically.

Now Playing reads what you're mixing (rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, and 8 more) and puts it on your stream. Live in OBS in minutes.

On stream

Chat stops asking. The screen answers.

Title, artist, and artwork appear the moment a track goes on air, while you keep both hands on the mix.

How it works

Live in three steps

  1. 1

    Connect your DJ software

    Open Now Playing next to rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, or whatever you mix with. It detects your setup and starts listening.

  2. 2

    Add the overlay to OBS

    One click creates the browser source for you: named, sized, and placed. Streamlabs and every other browser-source tool work too.

  3. 3

    Play

    That's the whole job. Tracks appear as they go on air, and the overlay looks after itself for the rest of the set.

Overlays

An overlay that looks like you

Start from a gallery of broadcast-ready themes, then shape it in the editor, or build your own from scratch.

The theme editor

Change layout, type, colors, and animation, previewed live and saved to your overlay instantly.

A gallery of broadcast-ready themes

Pick one, add it to OBS, done. Every theme handles long titles, missing artwork, and quiet moments gracefully.

One-click Add to OBS

Now Playing creates the browser source for you: named, sized, and placed in your scene.

Custom templates

Build your own theme in HTML with the template SDK. Now Playing feeds it live track data.

Album art, full resolution

From your files, your hardware, or online sources when the file has none, so the frame never sits empty.

Key features

Watch it do the talking

The overlay, the chat bot, the tracklist, the files: all driven by the same on-air detection, all hands-free.

FAQ

Answers, before you ask

Does it work with my DJ software?

Eleven sources are supported: rekordbox, Serato DJ, Traktor Pro, VirtualDJ, djay Pro, Mixxx, DJUCED, Denon StageLinq, Pioneer PRO DJ LINK, Spotify, and a universal file watcher. See exactly how yours connects on the compatibility page.

How long does setup take?

Minutes. Now Playing detects your DJ software automatically, and Add to OBS creates the browser source for you. Per-device walkthroughs live in the help center if your setup is unusual.

Will it break mid-stream?

It runs in the background and asks nothing of you mid-set. The overlay reconnects on its own if your connection blips, and on-air detection follows your mixer where your gear supports it, so the screen shows what the audience hears.

What does the free tier include?

The whole core: all 11 track sources, live overlays with the theme gallery, one-click Add to OBS, file output, and track history. Free is not a trial. See pricing for what Pro adds.

Do I need OBS?

No. The overlay is a live web page, so anything with a browser source works: OBS, Streamlabs, vMix, and friends. Chat and text-file outputs don't need a streaming tool at all.

Can I use it at real gigs, not just streams?

Yes. Open your overlay URL full-screen on any display with a browser: a venue screen, a projector, a spare laptop behind the booth. It shows the current track to the room while you play.
