let the karaoke be your party host.
the tv is the stage. every phone is the remote. karaoke.fyi counts everyone in, keeps the songs coming, calls up the next singer, and never lets the room go quiet.
HOW A NIGHT RUNS
you set it up. it hosts the rest.
two moves from you. everything after that is on the house.
put up the stage
Open karaoke.fyi on the TV's browser (or plug in a laptop) and it becomes the Stage: karaoke videos full-screen, the singer's name on the marquee, who's up next underneath.
everyone grabs a phone
Guests scan the QR or type the code, drop in a name, an emoji and a color, and they're queuing songs in under 10 seconds.
then it hosts itself
After every song the phones clap and the meter fills. Everything in between, the house handles:
The first song counts down and starts on its own. Nobody hunts for play.
Every next singer gets their name and a 5-second countdown on the TV.
Half a minute of nothing and the house puts on a song in the room's vibe, then calls someone up by name. Their phone buzzes: THE HOUSE PICKED YOU.
Anyone can claim a house pick. First to claim it owns it.
free. no app. hosting takes an email.
TRY THE HYPE BUTTON
someone's singing. hold this.
every phone except the singer's gets this button. hold it and your emoji fly across the TV, over the video.
NO APP. NO LOGIN. NO EXCUSES.
FRIDAY AT NIA'S
the whole room plays.
somebody on the couch belting it out, the rest of the room yelling along, and nobody passing a remote around.
the host gets to party too.
staged photos. every screen you can read in them is the real karaoke.fyi.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX
built for the room, not the app store
every feature exists because a real party needed it.
any song, three ways
A 334-song house book, or anything on YouTube — karaoke.fyi finds the karaoke version. Sing it classic with the words, music only, or with the artist alongside you.
full-screen karaoke, zero tabs
Every song plays right on the Stage, words and all. No browser fumbling, no "wait, is this the right video."
every phone gets a say
Queue from anywhere, even mid-song. Beg to go next. Call over or under on a friend's score. Hit "that was the moment" when someone nails it.
know everything, ruin nothing
The Wire is a live feed of who queued what and who's up next, right on your phone, so you never miss the moment.
your phone is the mic
Tap once and your voice comes out of the TV. No cables, no pairing, no borrowed mic that smells like last party. Over wifi it lands about a quarter-second late — the room hears it fine, the singer hears a slapback, so most people sing off the TV speakers and use this for the big moments.
no TV? still a party
Start on your phone and tap “no TV”. Whoever's up next gets YOUR TURN, and their phone becomes the stage: video, words and sound.
spotify, if you want it
Connect Spotify and your SING tab fills with songs by artists you actually play. It only suggests — it never plays music or posts. Optional, and capped at five accounts; everyone else types three artists.
TRY THE MACHINE
can't pick a song? don't.
a taste of the roulette. at your party it spins the whole house book.
THE CLOSING CEREMONY
and the award goes to…
every song gets its score on the spot. the trophies wait for “end the night” — then the TV runs the awards show. you don't have to sing to win one.
Karaoke Champion
the numbers don't lie, and tonight they're about you.
Crowd Favorite
the room decided before you even hit the last note.
Iron Lungs
most songs of the night, and still standing.
The Understudy
queued three songs, sang zero. we're still proud of you.
Chief Hype Officer
thumb calluses from holding that button all night.
The Politician
begged to go next more than anyone. no shame detected.
The Algorithm's Bestie
hit shuffle, trusted the machine. the machine did not disappoint.
The Oracle
called the most scores right. suspicious, honestly.
awards unlock as the night fills up — a small room may not earn them all.
KNOW THYSELF
which award would YOU win?
four questions. brutal honesty optional.
FINE PRINT, LOUD FONT
questions people yell at us
Does somebody have to run it?
No, that's the point. Tap the TV once so it's allowed to play sound, and it runs itself from there. Whoever started the party can still skip a song or end the night.
How do I host?
Tap “start a party”, type your email, and pick a TV or just phones. Guests never need an email: they scan the QR or type the party code.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Scan the QR or tap the link — it runs straight from your phone's browser.
What does it cost?
Nothing. karaoke.fyi is free — no ads, no in-app purchases, nothing to install.
Is my data safe?
We only ever ask for a first name and the songs you pick. Every party deletes itself automatically after 30 days.
My TV's browser says "this webpage is not available"
First, check the TV is actually online. Open google.com in the same TV browser. If that fails too, the set is not on Wi-Fi — a TV can show a network icon and still not be connected. Go into the TV's network settings and join your Wi-Fi properly. This is the cause almost every time, and no amount of retyping the address fixes it.
If google.com loads but karaoke.fyi does not, the set is older than TLS 1.2 and no modern website will open on it. Plug a laptop or a phone into the TV's HDMI port, or cast to it, and open karaoke.fyi there. Everyone else still joins from their own phones exactly the same way.
On a set from about 2020 on, karaoke.fyi runs the Stage right in the TV's browser — bigger text, bigger buttons, and a pointer remote or the plain arrow keys both work.
Can I duet?
Yes — there's a duets shelf in the house book. Queue it under one name and hand a friend the second verse. The applause goes to whoever queued it. (settle that in the car.)
