Remove Virtual Dj Logo -

To remove the Virtual DJ logo from your setup, you'll need to consider a few different approaches depending on where the logo is appearing and what you're trying to achieve.

What DOES NOT Work (Avoid These)

Searching for “remove virtual dj logo” also brings up shady results—YouTube videos with registry hacks, cracked DLL files, or “no logo patches.” Here’s why you should avoid them: To remove the Virtual DJ logo from your

• Cracked versions often contain malware, keyloggers, or ransomware. Virtual DJ phones home regularly; cracks break streaming, cloud analysis, and often re-introduce the logo after a few days.
• Photoshop overlays (placing a black box over the logo in post-production) are clumsy, time-consuming, and ruin the visual quality.
• OBS logo blurring still violates Virtual DJ’s terms of service for free users; if you’re caught streaming a blurred logo, your stream key could be banned by the platform.

Common Pro Tip for Streamers (OBS Studio)

Even with the logo removed in Virtual DJ, OBS might still capture a ghost logo if you are using "Window Capture." Always use "Game Capture" or "Display Capture" for the cleanest feed. Better yet, use Virtual DJ's built-in "NDI Output" (NewTek NDI) to send a clean, unbranded video feed directly to OBS without any window borders or logos. In the Settings search bar, type: overlay

Quick Troubleshooting

| Problem | Likely Cause | Fix | |--------|--------------|------| | Logo still shows on decks | Free version | Purchase Pro license | | Controller graphic with logo | ShowControllerOverlay = Yes | Set to No | | Logo on video output | VideoWatermark = Yes | Set to No (Pro only) | | “LIMITED” text somewhere | Free or trial version | Unlock with license |

Steps after purchasing a license:

1. Log into Virtual DJ using your account credentials (top-right corner of the software).
2. Go to Settings (gear icon) → License tab. Verify your license status shows “Pro” or “Home Plus.”
3. Restart Virtual DJ completely.
4. Test the output: Load a video track, hit record, and check the exported file. The logo should be gone.

Important: A paid license removes the logo only if you are not using a controller that forces the free tier. Some older or unsupported controllers may still trigger demo mode. In that case, see Method 4.
