How to use KaraoQueue

Get the room code

Ask the host for the 5-letter room code (looks like K7M2Q). It uses letters only, no zeros or ones.

Open the room

Tap the link that the host sent you. No link? Go to karaoqueue.live, tap Join a Room, and type in the code.

Enter your name

Type the name that you want to show when your song plays, then continue. This name is only for the karaoke room.

Search and add a song

Type a song or artist in the search box and tap the result that you want, or paste a YouTube link. Then tap Add. The song goes into the shared queue at once.

Tip: You can remove a song that you added, if it has not started to play yet. You cannot remove other people's songs.

Install the extension (desktop Chrome)

On the computer that is connected to the TV or speaker, open the link below in Chrome and click Add to Chrome. This works only on desktop Chrome, not on a phone.

Create a room

Go to karaoqueue.live, choose Host a Room, give it a name, and click Create. You get a 5-letter code to share.

Share the code with guests

Copy the join link and send it to your guests, or read them the 5-letter code. They add songs from their own phones.

Open YouTube and connect

In the same Chrome, open a new tab and go to youtube.com. A KaraoQueue bar appears across the top of the page. Type your room code into it and click Connect. Keep this YouTube tab open for the whole session. This tab plays the songs on the screen.

Tip: Do you not see the bar? Make sure that you are on youtube.com. Refresh the page once after you install the extension.

Start playing and manage the queue

After you connect, the first song starts on YouTube. Each song auto-plays when the last one finishes. From the host view you can reorder, skip, or remove songs. You do not touch YouTube yourself. The extension controls it.
