Put something beautiful on the big screen.
KaraokeHost turns your Mac and any second display into an easy presentation and entertainment system. Show photos, videos and visual playlists for parties, events, presentations — or simply at home. Karaoke when you want it.
Karaoke songs and music are not included. You bring your own compatible files and media.
Connect a screen. Pick what you want to show. Enjoy it.
Keep KaraokeHost controls on your Mac while your audience, family, or guests see a clean full-screen presentation on a TV, monitor, or projector. Use a direct HDMI connection or a compatible AirPlay display when wireless presentation suits your setup.
Simple wired setup
Connect your Mac to a TV, monitor, or projector with HDMI or the appropriate USB-C-to-HDMI connection.
Wireless when you want it
Use a compatible AirPlay display for convenient wireless presentation. Wireless latency and performance can vary with your network and equipment.
Your controls stay on the Mac
The presentation stays on the big screen while your library, playlists, Singer Queue, and show controls remain on your Mac.
Turn your memories into the evening's backdrop.
Put vacation photos, family memories, scenic videos, and favorite moments on the big screen. Build a Sequence or Break Scene playlist and let it run while everyone enjoys the room.
No karaoke required.
Make the screen part of the celebration.
Birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, reunions, and special occasions can have their own visual presentation. Mix photos and videos, organize them into playlists, and add Filler Music to create the atmosphere you want.
Your media. Your music. Your presentation.
Keep the room engaged before, between, and after performances.
Use a TV or projector for scenery, event information, venue promotions, sponsor messages, advertising, announcements, Countdown, and visual entertainment. Break Scene playlists can keep presentation content moving automatically.
And yes — it runs the complete karaoke show.
Search your own karaoke library, manage singers and performance order, adjust key and tempo, play Filler Music, and send lyrics or MP4 video to the Audience Display.

Make the Audience Display part of the event.
