Using SYQEL Visualizer
Core how-tos that apply across SYQEL.
Can I Use SYQEL as a Background for Streaming (OBS)? Yes. SYQEL Desktop sends its visuals to OBS over NDI (or Spout on Windows); from the web app, capture the browser window. Does SYQEL Have Keyboard Shortcuts? Yes. Space, Backspace and Enter run the show, and every action can be remapped to another key or a MIDI pad. How Do I Sign Up For a SYQEL Account? Sign in with Google, Facebook or an emailed link. If you don't have an account yet, SYQEL creates one for you. A password is optional. How to Connect Any App’s Audio to SYQEL In SYQEL Desktop, play something in the app, then pick App Audio and the app's name in the top-bar source list; the web app needs a virtual audio device. How to Set Up SYQEL in OBS on Mac On a Mac, SYQEL Desktop hears your music with App Audio and sends its visuals to OBS over NDI or through the SYQEL Visuals window. How to Use Your Online SYQEL Account as a Background for OBS Run SYQEL at vj.syqel.com, pick your audio input, press H for a clean screen, and add the browser window to OBS as a Window Capture. I Can't Find SYQEL as a Window Source in OBS on macOS Turn on Broadcast so the SYQEL Visuals window exists, give OBS screen recording permission, and restart OBS — or skip window capture and use NDI. Is SYQEL Optimized To a Specific Browser? The web app runs in current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Chrome or Edge is best, and SYQEL Desktop gives the smoothest show. Troubleshooting Audio Detection If the visuals don't react, check the Input meter, pick the right source in the top bar, refresh the list and check permissions. What Visualization Settings Can I Personalize? You can set what plays, how visuals advance, how they react to the music, your logos and marquee, your keys and MIDI pads, and the app's look. Why Does SYQEL Look Different On Each Browser? Every browser plays the same visuals. Differences come from your graphics card, graphics acceleration, frame rate and the audio SYQEL hears.
