Live visuals for DJs who stream
A black screen kills a music stream. SYQEL gives your Twitch and YouTube DJ sets a living, beat-synced backdrop that reacts to your mix in real time — and drops straight into OBS.

Just want it to run itself, zero setup? SYQEL Live →
Streaming a DJ set is a different game from playing a room: the camera is on you, the chat is watching, and a static overlay gets old fast. SYQEL fixes the visual half. It listens to your live output and generates reactive visuals that move with every track, so your stream always has something worth looking at — without hiring a VJ or looping the same clip for three hours. Pipe it into OBS, brand it with your handle, and look as good as you sound to everyone watching.
How SYQEL works with DJs who stream
Run it next to your DJ software
Serato, rekordbox, Traktor, VirtualDJ — it doesn’t matter. SYQEL reacts to the audio you’re already streaming, so there’s nothing to integrate.
Send it into OBS
Add SYQEL as a source in OBS via Spout, Mac Screen Share, or NDI — no laggy screen-capture — and composite it behind your cam and overlays.
Brand it and go live
Drop in your handle and logo, pick a look or let a playlist rotate, and start the stream. The visuals keep themselves in time.
Works with OBS
Clean Spout / Mac Screen Share / NDI output into OBS and Streamlabs — a proper video source, not a screen grab.
Never a dead screen
The backdrop reacts to your mix the whole set, so there’s always motion on stream — even during long blends.
Your channel, your brand
Put your handle and logo on the visuals so every clip and VOD reinforces who’s playing.
Fresh every stream
Thousands of presets plus AI-generated looks mean your stream never shows the same loop twice.
What's in SYQEL Desktop
The parts DJs use every night — each one documented, none of them extra software.
Create visuals with AI
Describe a look — "neon hexagon tunnel that pulses with the bass" — and get a brand-new audio-reactive shader, or generate an image and let the AI animate it. Adjust it for free, keep what you make.
Five visual feeds
Worlds, shaders, scenes, Milkdrop and image visuals — hundreds of looks in one library, every one of them reacting to the music in real time.
Control with MIDI or keyboard
Space for the next visual, Enter to hold one for the drop, Backspace to go back. Put any control, visual or playlist on a key or a pad with Learn Key and Learn MIDI — on every plan.
Record four formats at once
Press R and SYQEL saves four videos in one go — 16:9, 1:1, 9:16 and 4:5 — with your audio in them, straight into a SYQEL folder. One for every platform, nothing to capture or convert.
Logos
Up to nine of them — yours, a sponsor’s, the night’s — each with its own position and size, switched live on keys 1–9. A subscription removes the SYQEL mark entirely.
Control modes
Let it run on a timer, advance on the beat every 4 to 64 bars, or go fully manual and cut every visual yourself. Lock one for as long as the moment needs.
Works offline
Visuals, playlists, logos and hotkeys live on your machine. No internet at the venue, no problem — the show runs exactly the same. Sign in on another machine and your setup follows you.

Frequently asked questions
Does SYQEL work with OBS for streaming?
Yes. SYQEL outputs into OBS (and Streamlabs) via Spout on Windows, Mac Screen Share on macOS, and NDI over a network. You add it as a source and composite it behind your camera and overlays — no screen-capture hacks.
Will it sync to whatever I’m mixing live?
Always. SYQEL reacts to your live audio output rather than a fixed video, so the visuals stay locked to your mix even when you drop an unplanned track or stretch a breakdown.
Can viewers see my logo on the visuals?
Yes. On Pro and above you can overlay a custom logo and marquee text, so your handle is on screen for everyone watching your stream and in every clip.
