About UTubeDJ

A free, browser-based DJ setup built on the music already on YouTube.

UTubeDJ is a twin-deck DJ workspace that runs entirely in your web browser. Instead of asking you to buy a controller or import a library of local audio files, it gives you two full decks that stream any YouTube video or playlist straight into the mix. Paste a link, a video ID, or a whole playlist URL into either deck and you have a track loaded in seconds, with the same waveform, volume fader, tempo control and crossfader you would find on a hardware mixer.

It is built for DJs who already work from YouTube: bedroom DJs practising transitions after work, mobile and party DJs who want a backup rig on a laptop, streamers mixing between segments, and anyone learning to beatmatch who wants to hear two tracks riding together before spending money on gear. Because nothing is installed and nothing is uploaded, you can open UTubeDJ on a phone, a tablet or a borrowed laptop and your set is ready as soon as the page loads.

The workflow is deliberately simple. Search YouTube inside the app and send a result to Deck A or Deck B, or queue it for later. Load a playlist to give a deck a full set of tracks, mark the ones you want next, and let the queue carry you through the night. The crossfader blends the two decks, the master knob sets the overall level, and each deck keeps its own tempo so you can nudge a track into sync. The waveform panels show both decks side by side and double as a scratch pad, and you can save a playlist to your account so the same set is waiting the next time you sign in. When you want to sit back, Auto Mix takes over the handovers and crossfades the tracks for you.

UTubeDJ is built and maintained by the small independent UTubeDJ team, a group of working DJs and web developers who wanted a mixer that lived where their music already did. The app stays free to use and keeps improving based on what DJs ask for, so tell us what is missing.
