Join a Live Audio Room by QR Code

OpenedMic displays a QR code when a broadcaster opens a room. Audience members scan it with a compatible camera app and open the listener entry page in their browser. No OpenedMic app or account is required. This page explains the entry path and its fallback options.

What the QR Code Contains

When a broadcaster starts a room in OpenedMic, a unique QR code is generated for that session. The code encodes a direct join URL in the format https://www.openedmic.com/app?room=XXXXXX, where XXXXXX is the 6-character room code for that session.

Scanning the code opens the room entry page with the six-character room code already filled in. The listener may still need to enter a display name, provide a private-room password, or confirm playback. The QR code remains valid only while that room is active. When the broadcaster ends the session, the code becomes inactive.

The Join Flow

Scan the QR

Point a compatible camera app at the QR code. When the device offers the encoded link, open it in the browser.

Tap the Link

The browser opens the room entry page. OpenedMic does not add an account-registration or app-installation step.

Listen

After the room connects, the listener hears the live stream through the selected device output. A listener may also request the Approved Guest Mic when that control is available.

Why QR Access Reduces Friction

A QR code removes the need to type the site address and room code. It opens the correct entry page, while keeping the required name, password, and playback steps visible when they apply.

Where to Display the QR Code

OpenedMic lets the broadcaster display, copy, or share the QR code in multiple ways:

On a projector or screen: display the QR code from the broadcast panel at the start of the session
In a program or handout: include the current room QR code after the room has been created
In a message: share the room link while the room is active
At the entrance: print or display the current code for participants to scan as they arrive

Frequently Asked Questions

Does scanning open an app or the browser?

Scanning offers the encoded room link on compatible devices. Opening that link loads the active room entry page in the browser. No OpenedMic app is installed or opened.

Does the QR code change between sessions?

Yes. Each session generates a new 6-character room code and therefore a new QR code. Old codes become inactive when the broadcaster ends the session.

Can I share the join link instead of the QR code?

Yes. The join link is displayed in the broadcast panel alongside the QR code. Opening either one loads the same room entry page with the room code already filled in.

Can I prepare the QR code before the event?

The QR code is generated when the room is created. You can create the room before the event and display its code while it remains active. Broadcasting begins only after you press MIC ON.

Open a Room and Get a QR Code

Create a room in your browser, then display or share the QR code generated for that active session.
