You just unwrapped a Divoom. Maybe it's sitting on your desk right now, still in the box. The person who gave it to you thought you'd love it — and they were right. But now you're staring at the box thinking, where do I even start?
Here's the short answer: five steps, about fifteen minutes, no manual required. Charge it, grab your phone, download the app, connect, and pick your first display. That's it.
This guide walks through the setup for all three gift-favorite Divoom devices — Pixoo-64, Ditoo-Pro, and MiniToo — so you can follow along no matter which one you're holding.
What's in the Box
Before you start, let's make sure everything is there. Each Divoom device ships with different accessories, so here's what to expect:
- Pixoo-64: The device itself, a power adapter, and a quick-start guide. No extra cables — it plugs directly into the wall.
- Ditoo-Pro: The speaker, a USB-C charging cable, and a product manual. The cable is standard USB-C, so any phone charger you already own will work.
- MiniToo: The speaker, a USB-C charging cable, and a quick-start guide. Same USB-C convenience as the Ditoo-Pro, just smaller.
If everything looks good, let's move to the first step. (And if something's missing — don't worry, check the compartments in the box. Divoom packs things tight.)
Tip: Keep the original packaging for at least a week. It's the best way to store or transport the device if you want to show it off somewhere else.
Step 1: Charge Your Device
This one trips up most first-time users. Your device shipped with some battery, but probably not enough to complete the full setup.
For Pixoo-64: Plug the power adapter into the wall and connect it to the device. It powers on immediately — no waiting for a charge. Place it near your Wi-Fi router for the best connection during setup.
For Ditoo-Pro and MiniToo: Use the included USB-C cable with any standard USB charger (phone charger, laptop port, or power bank). Let it charge for about 15-20 minutes before you start. You'll see a small indicator light while it's charging.
Tip: Keep charging while you complete the next step — downloading the app. By the time you're done, the device will have enough power to pair and play.
Step 2: Download the Divoom App
The Divoom app is the control center for your device. Every setting, clock face, pixel art upload, and customization runs through it.
Open your phone's app store and search for "Divoom". Look for the icon with the pixel smiley face — that's the official app. It's available on both:
Tap install. The app is free and takes about a minute to download. When it's ready, open it — you'll see a clean main screen with a "device not connected" message, which is exactly where you want to be. Don't create an account yet; the app will guide you through that after pairing.
Step 3: Power On & Connect
Now the exciting part — turning it on. Press and hold the power button on your device. On Pixoo-64, it's on the side. On Ditoo-Pro and MiniToo, it's on the top panel.
You'll see the Divoom logo light up on the screen. If you don't see anything, double-check that it's charged (or plugged in for Pixoo-64).
From here, the connection path splits depending on your device:
If you have a Ditoo-Pro or MiniToo (Bluetooth)
Open the Divoom app and tap "Add Device". Make sure your phone's Bluetooth is turned on. The app will scan for nearby devices — your Ditoo-Pro or MiniToo should appear within a few seconds. Tap it, and the app will confirm the pairing. You'll hear a short chime, and the screen will show a "connected" message.
If you have a Pixoo-64 (Wi-Fi)
The Pixoo-64 connects through Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth. In the Divoom app, tap "Add Device" and select Pixoo-64 from the model list. The app will ask for your Wi-Fi password. Important: The Pixoo-64 only works with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks. If your router broadcasts a 5GHz network, make sure your phone is connected to the 2.4GHz band before starting the setup.
Tip: If the app can't find your Pixoo-64, check that your phone is on a 2.4GHz network (not 5GHz). Most dual-band routers list them as separate networks. If you're not sure, check your router's settings or try moving the device closer to the router.
Step 4: First-Time Account Setup
Once your device is connected, the app will ask you to create a Divoom account or log in if you already have one. This takes about a minute — just an email, a password, and a quick verification.
Your account syncs your settings, saved clock faces, and pixel art across devices. It also unlocks the community gallery where Divoom users share their creations. If you're the kind of person who likes to browse before you start, the community gallery is worth a look.
After the account setup, the app will show a quick tutorial — a 3-step walkthrough that covers the basics: how to browse clock faces, how to upload a design, and where to find community art. Tap through it; it's short and worth the 30 seconds.
Step 5: Pick Your First Clock Face or Pixel Art
This is the step where it all clicks. Your device is connected, your account is set up, and now you get to make it yours.
In the app, tap "Clock Face" or "Gallery" to browse what's available. There are hundreds of options — analog clocks, digital displays, pixel art animations, seasonal themes, and even designs that show the weather or your music playlist.
Pick something that matches your mood or your space. Tap it, and within seconds it appears on your device. The screen lights up with your first custom display. That moment — when you see your choice come to life on the pixel screen — is when you realize what this thing can really do.
What to Try After Setup
Now that your device is running, here's a short list of things to explore — no extra setup required.
- Browse the community gallery — Thousands of pixel art designs created by Divoom users. Find one you like, tap it, and it's on your screen instantly.
- Try a music visualizer — On Ditoo-Pro and MiniToo, play any song through the speaker and watch the pixel display dance to the beat. It's surprisingly addictive.
- Set an alarm or timer — All three devices support alarms. MiniToo even has a built-in Pomodoro timer for focus sessions.
- Customize your own pixel art — Open the "Pixel Art" section in the app and draw something from scratch. Even simple designs look great on the pixel grid.
- Share what you made — The community lets you upload your creations so other Divoom users can find and enjoy them.

FAQ
How long does it take to set up a new Divoom device?
About 15 minutes from opening the box to seeing your first custom display on screen. Most of that time is charging and app download — the actual pairing takes less than 2 minutes.
My device won't turn on. What should I do?
It likely needs charging first. Plug it in (Pixoo-64 uses a wall adapter; Ditoo-Pro and MiniToo use USB-C) and wait 15-20 minutes. If it still doesn't power on, try a different charging cable or power source — some USB-C cables are charge-only and won't work.
Can I use my Divoom without Wi-Fi?
Yes, if you have a Bluetooth model (Ditoo-Pro or MiniToo). These devices work with the app over Bluetooth and don't need a Wi-Fi connection. For Pixoo-64, Wi-Fi is required for full functionality — including clock faces, weather widgets, and community art downloads.
The app can't find my device. How do I fix this?
For Ditoo-Pro and MiniToo, make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and that the device is powered on. Try closing and reopening the app. For Pixoo-64, check that your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network — the Pixoo-64 doesn't support 5GHz networks.
What do I do if I get stuck during setup?
You can safely restart the setup at any point. The Divoom app is designed to guide you through each step, and your device will revert to pairing mode if you start over. If you're still stuck, check the product manual or visit the Divoom support page.
That first pixel glow is just the beginning. Your Divoom changes with your mood, your season, and your creativity. Enjoy it.
