Problem

Why manual request handling hurts engagement

When requests come from chat, DMs, or staff, the broadcast quickly becomes chaotic and hard to control.

Requests get lost

Tracks and messages come from multiple channels with no single queue.

Extra workload for staff

Staff have to manually collect and review requests.

Hard to keep format

Random requests can break the vibe of your venue, radio, or stream.

Audience stays passive

People listen, but do not feel involved in the broadcast.

Unclear rules

Without a clear mode, it is hard to explain what can be requested.

No interaction on your website

Visitors cannot request music directly on your page.

Solution

Requests in a controlled on-air flow

Enable requests only when needed and choose request mode: open catalog or only genres from the current on-air playlist.

QR code for offline locations

Place the code on tables, counters, screens, or menus.

Link for online channels

Share it in stream chat, social media, email, or your broadcast description.

Website widget

Accept requests directly on your website without a separate tool.

All Genres mode

Open catalog: users can request any music.

Broadcast Genres mode

Requests are limited to genres currently playing in the active playlist.

Optional enablement
