How to use an external screen

If you want to use KaraFun on multiple screens with your Android device, you can cast your screen to a TV or monitor using Chromecast, Google Home, or a direct HDMI connection. This allows you to display karaoke lyrics on a larger screen for a better experience.

  1. Connect your Android device and Chromecast/Google Home to the same Wi-Fi network.
  2. Open the Google Home app.
  3. From the navigation drawer, select "Cast Screen".
  4. Tap the "Cast Screen" button and select your Chromecast or Google Home device.
  5. Launch KaraFun and the lyrics will appear on your TV.

Tips

  • Use an HDMI cable and adapter to connect your Android device directly to your TV for a stable connection without delays or freezes.
  • Keep your Android device charged while casting to avoid interruptions.
  • If you experience lag, try restarting both your casting device and Android phone.
  • KaraFun is compatible with Apple TV, Android TV, and Fire TV. If your Smart TV uses one of these systems, you can download the KaraFun app directly from the store.
  • If your TV has Chromecast built-in, or if you have a Chromecast stick, you can follow the steps described here to learn how to cast your screen. (See the list of compatible devices here.)
  • You can also use Google Home with an Android device via the Google Home app to cast your screen.
  • To allow guests to add songs to the queue, you can display the QR code by going into your "Settings" > "Remote control" and checking "Display QR code on screen".
  • To stop casting your screen:
    • From the notification drawer: Swipe down to open the notification drawer on your Android device and tap "Disconnect".
    • From the Google Home app: Reopen the Google Home app, select "Cast Screen" from the navigation drawer, and tap "Disconnect".

  1. Thank you so much for everything
  2. I've been told the Karafun app is supported on only one TV brand - I believe it's Sony but I could be wrong - so I used a USB connector from my source device (typically an iPad) to my smart TV. That worked well but had some latency. I find using the mirroring my iPad to my smart TV works well and eliminates any latency during playback. The smart TV is on the network and I use an optical connection from the TV to my karaoke player.. Works great.
  3. Please support Roku in the future. I love Karafun on Windows.
