How can I send the video to an external screen?

If you want to use KaraFun on multiple screens on your Android device, you have several possibilities:

Firstly, you can use Chromecast or Google Home. This being said this technology was developed to broadcast video and KaraFun does not rely on video technology. This can cause various issues such a delays and freezes.

If your TV has Chromecast built-in, or if you have Chromecast stick you can follow the steps described here to learn how to cast your screen.
(see list of compatible devices here. You need a compatible device and Android 4.4.2 and above.)
When you're done, KaraFun should show up on your TV and you can use KaraFun Android as usual, with the lyrics appearing on your TV.

You can also use Google Home if you have an Android devices using the Google Home App.

Before starting, you must first connect your Google Home to an external monitor to cast the screen from your Android device. After connecting, please follow the remaining instructions listed below.

From your Google Home app:

Alternatively, you can also use a HDMI cable and an adapter to connect your TV directly to your Android device. This should ensure you avoid any delay.

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.

Please support Roku in the future. I love Karafun on Windows.
