KaraoQ Guide

How to do karaoke on your TV

A TV turns a phone-sized karaoke session into a proper show — big lyrics everyone can read from across the room. KaraoQ works with whatever you already have: a smart TV, a streaming stick, or a plain HDMI cable. Here are the three easy ways to get the song and the words on the big screen.

Step by step

1. 1

   Cast from your phone or laptop

   If you have a smart TV, Chromecast, or Apple TV, use Google Cast or AirPlay to mirror your screen. Open KaraoQ's display view, cast it, and the queue and lyrics show up on the TV instantly.

2. 2

   Or plug in with an HDMI cable

   No casting? Connect a laptop to the TV with an HDMI cable and pick the TV as your screen. It's the most reliable option and needs no Wi-Fi or setup at all.

3. 3

   Use pop-out so controls stay on your phone

   KaraoQ can pop the karaoke video into its own window. Put that window on the TV and keep the host controls — queue, skip, reactions — on your phone or laptop, so you never have to walk up to the screen mid-song.

4. 4

   Let guests add songs from their seats

   While the TV shows the current song, everyone else searches YouTube and queues their next pick from their own phones. The lineup builds itself and the show never stops between songs.

Whether you cast, plug in, or pop out, the TV only ever shows the song and lyrics — the controls stay private on your device. That's karaoke on the big screen without a single piece of dedicated hardware.
