Main VOCO Screens: Zones, Now Playing, Content
There are three main screens used with VOCO devices. When using a full sized tablet, all three views
are shown on the opening screen. When using a Phone, these views are selected at the top of the
Application by selecting “ZONES,” “NOW PLAYING,” or “CONTENT”
ZONES:
In the ZONES screen, you will select which zone to control including volume, searching and settings.
Tap on a specific, configured, online zone and the color will change and you may control that Zone.
NOW PLAYING:
The NOW PLAYING screen allows you to see what is currently playing, the playlist queue, shuffle play,
volume control/mute, and skip forward and back. The Metadata from a song selected should be
displayed in the main screen. A slider song timer appears at the top allowing scrolling to particular
parts of a song. When a song or playlist is playing, it may be saved as a playlist then as a preset by
touching the Playlist button.
CONTENT:
The CONTENT screen is where you’ll select various content to play to your zone. You may select
ONLINE SERVICES, Play from This Device, a Camera feed where available, or Local Content from your
selected Server. The Content screen also houses playlists and presets designated for the music source
you have selected.

Streaming YouTube Videos:
With the exception of the VOCO V‐Zone, all VOCO devices can stream YouTube
videos. Connect your configured VOCO device to a TV using an HDMI Cable or a
Component Video Cable. The first time you stream a YouTube video it will take somewhat longer to
play as we download additional software.
Search YouTube videos using your VOCO device by either:
1. Voice Or Text Search, then long press on the search results and select
Search YouTube:
‐ OR ‐
2. Browse YouTube after selecting the YouTube button on the online services menu.
Selecting YouTube Streaming Quality:
YouTube video streams can be streamed at various resolutions up to 1080p. Higher quality videos
require more bandwidth and may result in extensive buffering. Selecting a lower resolution is
appropriate when available internet speeds are slower.
To Select YouTube Streaming Quality:
1. In the Zones screen of the VOCO Controller Phone APP, and in the lower right hand
corner of the Tablet APP select the Settings icon (Gears Icon) and you will be taken to
the Zones Settings screen.
2. Select the Select YouTube quality option.
3. A pop‐up window will appear with 3 different options: High Quality Streaming, Medium Quality
Streaming, and Low Quality Streaming.
4. When using a slow internet connection select Medium or Low Quality. After selecting the
streaming option select Save.
Music Sources for your VOCO Device:
VOCO devices can access and stream music from many different locations including:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Internal VMS Server on your VOCO device using a USB Stick/USB hard drive;
Computer (Mac or PC) using VOCO Media System (VMS) Software;
Mobile devices from Android or Apple;
Online Music Services;
Certain NAS drives.
Most audio devices via Line‐In or an optional Bluetooth adapter
Internal VMS Server using a USB Stick:
7|Page
All VOCO devices have built in USB ports along with software which reads up to 5000 music files on a
USB drive. Slide the USB stick into the front or back USB on the VOCO device and the server will read
the music and make it accessible so long as that Zone server is selected. For example, if your V‐Spot is
called “Bedroom” select the “Bedroom” server in the My Music Tab. USB content must be formatted in
a “fat or ntfs” format.
Computer (Mac or PC) Using VOCO VMS Software:
Go to myvoco.com and select Support and you will find Downloads section. Download
free VOCO Media Server (VMS) software for your Mac or PC Computer to stream music
from your computer to a VOCO device on the same network. During the set up process
select the directory where you keep your music such as iTunes or Music Folder. Name your library
accordingly (John’s PC or Mary’s Mac) so that you know what music source you are selecting in the
VOCO Controller APP.
While the internal Zone device server supports up to 5000 songs and can only synchronize a maximum
of 2‐3 zones, a typical PC or Mac can support 50,000 songs and 7‐10 zones. For larger set ups, use of an
external server such as a Computer or NAS drive and Ethernet usage works best.
Instructions for Installing VOCO Media Server (VMS) Software for PC and Mac Users:
After installing VOCO VMS Software, the VOCO Computer Software Control Panel will open on your
computer. The VOCO Computer Software Control Panel allows you to scan your media collection.
Name the music library so you can easily identify this music source on the VOCO Controller APP on your
mobile device. To do this click on the Library tab on the top of the Control Panel, name it, and then click
on the OK button at the bottom of the page. Then select the name of your Computer Server you chose
on your VOCO Controller APP in the My Music Tab and stream music to your devices from your PC or
MAC. *Be sure the computer is connected to the same network as your VOCO devices.
When the VOCO VMS Software is downloaded onto your computer the default setting of the software is
to pull the music that is stored in your Music folder on your computer. However, you may direct the
software to pull music from any folder on the Computer. To do this simply click on the Browse button
next to the music folder and select the folder you would like the VOCO VMS Software to access. After
you have selected a folder click on the Status tab on the top of the window, then click the Rescan
button next to the “Look for new and changed music” option.
If you add new songs to your music collection you must rescan your music collection to make them
accessible to a VOCO device. Click on the Rescan button located on the Status tab after you have added
the new songs to the folder. Once the VOCO VMS Software has finished the rescan select OK and the
control panel will close.
Playing Songs From Mobile Devices:
In the VOCO Controller APP select CONTENT menu and “Play From This Device” tab to
access and stream the music stored on your Apple or Android device. Ensure your
8|Page
Mobile device is connected to the same network as your VOCO device. Select artists, Albums, Songs or
Playlists. You can queue and stream up to 25 songs from phones or tablets by selecting the … icon or
long pressing on the song and selecting “Add song to current playlist”
Online Music Services:
A free MyVOCO.net account must be first set up to stream most online services.
Your account will store your passwords for various services which require an
account. After setting up a myvoco.net account, the VOCO device must be
associated to the account. To associate a Zone, select Content> Online Services scroll to the bottom
where there are three options. Select the middle option “This zone has not been configured” option,
then select Associate.
If your myvoco.net account is setup, and your VOCO device is associated with your myvoco.net account,
and you are unable to get online services screen to populate, check the status of the Online Services text
in the upper right hand corner of the APP. The different colors will indicate the status:
•
•
•
•
Red = Handset NOT connected AND zone NOT connected
Yellow = Handset IS connected AND zone NOT connected
Purple = Handset NOT connected AND zone IS connected
Green = Handset IS connected AND zone IS connected
For most online services, you will need to enter your credentials into your account myvoco.net account
through the VOCO Controller APP. To do this select the Online Services option, and then select the
online service of your choice and select Enter Credentials option. Use your login information for that
music service.
NAS Drives:
VOCO supports most NAS Drives using Logitech Media Server (LMS) 7.8.0 or
LMS 7.7.3 with a patch provided by VOCO. Instructions for the patch
implementation can be found on the Forums at myvoco.com.
