Handles and web addresses

A handle is the name in your web address. You can hold two: one as a DJ, one for your venue. Each owns a different set of pages.

Your DJ handle

Claiming a DJ handle gives you two public pages:

  • hypedisplay.com/l/yourhandle — your link page. This is what your QR code points at, and it is what a room reaches when they scan your screen.
  • hypedisplay.com/dj/yourhandle — your DJ profile. The longer page, for someone deciding whether to book you.

You claim it under DJ profile, not on your account page. The page checks it as you type, and you claim it the moment you save.

Your venue handle

A venue handle is separate, and it can be the same word as your DJ handle or different.

  • hypedisplay.com/venue/yourvenue — your venue page.
  • hypedisplay.com/l/yourvenue/main — a link page for one of your screens. Each screen gets its own, with its own QR code.

Before you claim one

Your screen still runs without a handle, but the QR code has nowhere to point, so it will not appear. Claiming a handle is the step that turns a screen into something a room can act on. It takes about ten seconds and costs nothing.

Changing it later

You can rename a handle from the same place you claimed it. Everything moves with you: your links, your profile, your QR code. The code on screen re-points itself the next time the screen loads, so there is nothing to redo on the screen side.

Anything already printed still carries the old address, and the old address stops working the moment someone else claims it. If your handle is on a flyer or a sticker, treat renaming it the way you would treat changing a phone number.

What this is not

A handle is not a display name. It is the address, so it is lower case, has no spaces, and has to be unique. Your on-screen name is a separate setting and can be anything you like, including the same word with different capitals.
