Live Audio for Ceremonies and Events

Stream live audio from a ceremony or event directly to guests' phones — weddings, graduations, religious services, panels, and live talks. Guests join by scanning a QR code, no app required. No PA system, no venue installation needed.

When It's Needed

Not every ceremony venue has a working PA system. Not every outdoor space can be wired for sound. And even in a wired venue, guests in overflow areas, adjacent rooms, or outside the main hall may miss parts of the event entirely.

OpenedMic solves this by turning every guest's smartphone into a personal audio receiver. The officiant, speaker, or performer is heard clearly — regardless of where in the venue the guest is sitting, standing, or waiting.

Common Scenarios

Weddings and civil ceremonies — guests in the back rows, side rooms, or outdoor overflow areas hear the ceremony clearly through their earphones
Graduation ceremonies — families in large auditoriums hear speaker remarks and student names clearly without relying on distant speakers
Religious services — participants in overflow rooms, courtyards, or second floors hear the service in real time
Panel discussions and talks — audience members in the back hear speakers without needing a PA system
Simultaneous interpretation — an interpreter can broadcast a live translation on a separate room while the original audio is broadcast on another

How Event Organizers Use It

Open openedmic.com/app and select Ceremony mode.
Print or display the QR code — in the event program, on a screen at the entrance, or sent in advance via message.
Guests scan the QR code when they arrive and are listening by the time the event begins.
Press MIC ON when the speaker or performer begins.

Ceremony Mode

The Ceremony broadcast mode is tuned for the kinds of spaces ceremonies happen in:

Light noise gate — preserves natural reverb and warmth without heavy suppression
Reverb-friendly EQ — tuned for voice in rooms with natural echo
Gentle compression — smooth, unobtrusive level control appropriate for formal settings

Brief Remote Voices With the Approved Guest Mic

For ceremonies, OpenedMic supports a controlled Approved Guest Mic path: a single attendee — for example, a remote relative offering a brief blessing, a delegated speaker, or a dignitary — can request to speak. The organizer sees the request and chooses Approve or Deny. After approval, that one attendee is heard live by the whole room and by every remote listener. The organizer keeps full control of guest volume, mute, and end. This is intentionally one voice at a time. It is not an open conference call.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can guests join from different rooms?

Yes. Guests in overflow rooms, adjacent spaces, or even outdoors can join and hear the session in real time as long as they have a mobile data or WiFi connection on their device.

Will the audio disturb other guests if phones are not muted?

Guests listening through earphones produce no ambient noise. The broadcast audio is delivered only to the listener's earphones — it does not play through the phone speaker unless the guest chooses to enable that.

Can two interpreters broadcast simultaneously for different languages?

Yes. Each broadcaster opens a separate room. You can have one room for the original audio and a separate room for a live interpreter. Guests join the room for their preferred language.

Is there a delay between the speaker and what listeners hear?

WebRTC delivers audio with low latency — typically under one second. In most ceremony contexts this is imperceptible, especially when guests are not in the same physical line of sight as the speaker.
