During a live show, it is important to communicate with the audience. Traditionally, this has meant that a good KJ would spend a lot of time on the microphone, making announcements, announcing the lineup of the rotation, etc. While it is still important for a KJ to build rapport with the audience over the microphone, kJams allows you to do much more to get your announcements across. Most obvious is the Who's Up Next rotation screen that you can opt to display between songs or at any time by using the Video → Toggle Rotation command. With Show Screens, there are many options to display a message to your audience, even if they're out of earshot, on a back smoking patio (if there's a video screen out there), or sitting at the bar ignoring you but otherwise staring at the screen. Show Screens allow you to better control the show and to provide a more satisfying experience to your audience. ==Messenger==Messenger allows you to overlay a message as a crawl on top of the video display. You can use Messenger to announce Last Call, drinkspecials, or anything you like. Messages can be displayed immediately or held for later. The Messenger Rotation option scrolls the next three singers across the bottom of the screen. (This info is taken from your KJ Rotation list.) For more information on Messenger, click here.
