It looks like everything has a green check now??
Again, you need to log out from Backstage and log back in to make the changes permanent. But otherwise I think youâre good now
I did that.
Everything has a green check and says I should get an invite soon?
Your changes are not yet reflected here on Backstage so theyâre not yet ok. Log out here from backstage and then log back in.
Problem with the invite status page â and why we desperately need more mentors to help people out â is that the system cannot read things liks this, unfortunately. Yes, itâs green but your username here on Backstage still is different than on your profile. Only after you log out from BAckstage and log back in they get back to sync.
Sorry to sound stupid here, but is there a difference between Slipmat and Backstage? If there is maybe thatâs where Iâm not getting things done correctly.
Backstage is the forum youâre right now. https://backstage.slipmat.io
Slipmat is the main site. https://slipmat.io
OK. I believe itâs done. I didnât realize there was a separate logout for Backstage. Thought signing out of Slipmat accomplished the deed.
Yep, youâre good now.
Now you need to find a mentor that can guide you for actually starting to stream here. They can invite you in and talk you through the first steps
OK. Thatâs why I had messaged @theaardvark but Iâm afraid heâs gone now. Is there anyone else that can do this? Was hoping to stream later tonight and donât want to us FB Live if at all possible. ThanksâŚ
I can try to help you as much as I can. First what streaming software you are using? If you donât have any I suggest try OBS from here you can find guide to set-up stream for Slipmat.io.
Well funny you should mention that. We are all set on OBS and using Virtual DJ. We did a test set last night using FB Live and it worked great. But they keep blocking things as they do.
First though I believe I need to be invited by a mentor so I can complete my DJ Profile. Isnât that correct?
I believe your DJ profile is ready to go now, you donât need mentor to start your stream. Go to slipmat.io start page and in upper right corner you can see âDJ adminâ link. From DJ admin page click âstreaming keysâ link. Copy âingest serverâ address and âstream keyâ to your OBS. Copy also your âvideo URLâ. You need it in next step.
After you have set-up OBS by this guide Configuring OBS for Slipmat & YouTube you can start stream from OBS and go back to DJ admin page. From upper right corner there is âNew Eventâ button. Set-up your event (you need to paste your video URL on this page if itâs not there already) and click âschedule eventâ. You will be forwarded back to your DJ Admin page where you can now see you scheduled events. Click âStartâ. If you can see your video on the preview page you are ready to go (If you cannot see, check your stream settings from OBS). Click âThe video preview is correct. Letâs open the chatâ button. Click âstartâ button on your event page and you are ready to start streaming.
Iâm quite sure there is better guide somewhere in backstage, but could not find it at this moment. If not, maybe I have to do oneâŚ
Good luck for your first stream in Slipmat.io
Hi,
It also happened to me. If someone is lost in the process and reads this, my recommendation:
-
Log out from Backstage and Slipmat page in all your devices (I had my computer and mobile browser connected)
-
Login to Slipmat and set your listener name to something different from what your DJ name will be. It can be your real name or other thing, but different from your DJ name.
-
Then you can log in again to Backstage and check that your name has been synced.
From there follow all the process mentioned to be allowed and create a DJ profile.
Itâs recommend to configure OBS carefully and do some private test before going live.
Hi
Iâve approved an invite but doesnât seem to have activated account, Vinnie is saying he canât see DJ Admin button?
any ideas?
thanks
looks like this has resolved itself as DJVinnie is up and running, not sure what happened here would be interested to know for future use?
Your guess is as good as mine. Honestly I had given up and then boom, an email came in saying âyouâre inâ.
Hey guys, just found this site today and Iâm hoping to spin some tunes for everyone very soon! Just looking for some help doing so.

Hey Bass
Iâm quite new as well but a quick learner. I can tell you that you need to set up a listener profile, and then attend some events and get involved in chats. Once you earn enough Karma points then you can reach out to another DJ to have them Mentor you, or accept you on to the DJ side of things. Then youâll complete your DJ profile, and away you go.
One thing is to make sure NONE of the listener profile uses your DJ Name. They are picky about keeping these separate.
