Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dekk.fm?
Dekk.fm is a free browser-based DJ app that lets you search any song on YouTube, build a collaborative playlist, and mix tracks with smooth crossfade transitions. No download, no account, no ads.
Is Dekk.fm really free?
Yes. Dekk.fm is free to use with no ads. Just open dekk.fm in your browser and start mixing. No account needed.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Dekk.fm works instantly with zero sign-up. Just visit the site and start searching for songs.
How does the collaborative queue work?
Start a Party, share the QR code or link with your friends. They scan it on their phone, search for songs, and their picks are added to your queue in real-time.
What is Party Mode?
Party Mode lets you host a live collaborative session. Your guests scan a QR code to join and request songs from their phones. You stay in control as DJ while everyone contributes to the playlist.
What songs are available on Dekk.fm?
Dekk.fm searches YouTube, so virtually any song, remix, or live performance available on YouTube can be played. That means millions of tracks across every genre.
Does Dekk.fm work on mobile?
Yes. The guest Party mode is designed for mobile phones. The full DJ experience with dual decks and crossfader works best on a laptop or tablet in landscape mode.
How does the crossfade work?
Dekk.fm automatically blends the end of one track into the beginning of the next using a smooth crossfade. In DJ mode, you get manual control over two virtual decks and a crossfader, just like real DJ software.
Can I use Dekk.fm for a house party or event?
Absolutely. That is exactly what it is built for. Start a Party, display the QR code on a screen, and let your guests add songs. No one needs to install anything.
Is there a song limit or time limit?
Add as many songs as you want to the queue. The music keeps playing as long as the session is open.
How is Dekk.fm different from Spotify Jam?
Dekk.fm does not require a subscription or account. It is free, works in any browser, and focuses on the party DJ experience: collaborative queue, crossfade mixing, and QR code sharing. It plays from YouTube, so anyone can listen without a subscription.
Does Dekk.fm show BPM?
Yes. Dekk.fm detects and displays BPM (beats per minute) for tracks, powered by GetSongBPM and Deezer. This helps DJs match tempos for smoother transitions.
Can multiple people DJ at the same time?
The DJ controls stay with the host. Guests can add songs to the queue via Party Mode, but only the host mixes and manages playback.
What browsers are supported?
Dekk.fm works on all modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, on both desktop and mobile.
