Part 4. Fix SoundCloud Not Working in Virtual DJ

Although everything set up correctly, errors can sometimes appear when connecting SoundCloud to Virtual DJ. You might encounter issues like "Login failed" or "SoundCloud Invalid grant", which are quite common and easy to fix. Let's look at the most common reasons and quick solutions.

Why can't I log in to SoundCloud on Virtual DJ?

If you're having trouble logging in to SoundCloud through Virtual DJ, it's often due to an inactive subscription, incorrect credentials, or outdated software. Please make sure your SoundCloud Go+ or SoundCloud DJ plan is active. Then you can try logging out and signing back in from the SoundCloud settings inside Virtual DJ, and check whether you're using the latest version of the software. If the login still fails, clearing your browser cache or checking for temporary SoundCloud server issues might help.

Why does Virtual DJ show "SoundCloud invalid grant"?

The "invalid grant" error usually means your SoundCloud token has expired or been revoked. This can happen if you changed your password, your subscription expired, or SoundCloud made a security update. The easiest fix is to log out of SoundCloud in Virtual DJ and reset your SoundCloud password if needed, then log back in your account.

If that doesn't solve it, you can confirm whether your subscription is still valid. Also, check if you've updated Virtual DJ to the latest build. In most cases, these steps will restore your SoundCloud connection so you can mix your favorite tracks again without interruption.
