Karaoke is one of the best ways to have a good time with friends. Whether you want to try out a new song or belt out a classic you can find an online karaoke platform for you and your friends. You can either go old school and play recorded, lyric-free music and have everyone read them off a screen or you can use a video conferencing tool like Banty to get everybody in sync and singing along together.
If you’re stuck at home during the lockdown it can be difficult to get your karaoke fix. However, you can still hold an online karaoke party with Zoom if you’re creative enough. The key is to have a good quality microphone, some mute options and a room with good acoustics.
Set up your Zoom meeting with a desktop or laptop and share the screen. If you have an iPad or iPhone you can also join the meeting on the mobile app and use that as your karaoke player. Then add all your friends to the Zoom call using a smartphone and make sure they’re muting themselves (you don’t want them to hear your off-tune vocals).
You can use the gallery view in the zoom app to see each of your friends at once. This is perfect for a karaoke session because it allows you to have up to 49 people in one screen at once!
To start your karaoke party just click the “Add Song” button. This will open up a search box that you can type in any song title into. Once you’ve found the song just select it and then it will appear in the queue. If you want to change the order just drag and drop the songs around in the queue. You can even queue up multiple songs at once and then sing them in sequence.
Once all your friends have joined the karaoke session you can have each of them take turns performing a song while the others watch on (muted). You can then score each performance and determine who is the overall karaoke champion. Depending on how big your group is you can even do knockout rounds and have finals to determine who will win.
Karaoke online with friends is a fun way to have some good laughs during the lockdown. You can even spice it up by having your friends dress up in silly costumes to make the experience more entertaining. And if you need a break from singing you can always just chat with your friends in the same room. So what are you waiting for? Throw a virtual karaoke party with your friends today!
