2. VIDEO OVERLAY -

4. PHONE/TABLET REMOTE - If you have the VirtualDJ Remote installed on your mobile device, you can change the look and functionality. Click to choose and load the desired interface layout. The default GUI is the only one available, but additional layouts can be added by clicking on the Get More button.
