Having trouble with Mic Night, or curious how something works? Check the FAQs below, or drop us an email — we read every message.
Mic Night is a songbook and a queue manager — it doesn't host or stream video itself. When you pick a song, Mic Night opens the karaoke video in the YouTube app. If you add your own free YouTube Data API key in Settings, videos play right inside Mic Night instead. Either way the video comes from YouTube, so availability and quality of a specific karaoke track depend on what's on YouTube at the time.
Open Settings and tap Host a Party. Friends on the same Wi-Fi scan the QR code with their phone's camera — no app install needed — then browse the book and send songs straight to your queue. Keep Mic Night open in the foreground while hosting; if the app goes to the background the connection pauses, and guests reconnect automatically when you come back.
Two ways: AirPlay (wireless) or a USB-C → HDMI cable. Once a screen is connected, videos play on the TV automatically — crossfade between songs included — while the book and queue stay on your phone.
It's free from Google: create a project at console.cloud.google.com, enable the YouTube Data API v3, and create an API key. Paste it into Mic Night's Settings and videos play in-app. The key is stored only on your device.
The book is a curated 1,410-song set, tagged by hand for genre, decade, difficulty, and vocal range. If a karaoke staple you love is missing, email us the title and artist — real requests drive what gets added next.
No. No account, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. Favorites, history, queue, and your optional API key live only on your device. The full policy is a two-minute read: Privacy Policy.
Email us the details (device model, iOS version, what you were doing when it happened) and we'll get it fixed. Screenshots or screen recordings are always helpful.
