What Is OpenedMic?

OpenedMic is a browser-based live audio room platform. A host opens a room in a browser and shares a QR code, link, or room code. Listeners join from their own devices, with no app and no account. One person broadcasts live to many listeners.

How It Works

Three steps:

• The broadcaster opens a room in any modern browser at openedmic.com/app.
• Listeners join from their own devices by scanning a QR code, tapping a join link, or entering the 6-character room code in any browser.
• The broadcaster stays in control. Listeners are muted by default, and the broadcaster decides who, if anyone, speaks.

See How It Works for the full walkthrough, or Browser-Based Live Audio for why no app is required.

What OpenedMic Is For

OpenedMic handles one-to-many live audio in settings where the audience listens on their own phones:

• Classes and lectures. Students listen on their phones. See Live Audio for Classes.
• Guided tours. Visitors hear the guide clearly without rented headsets. See Guided Tour Audio.
• Ceremonies and events. Guests follow the audio without a PA setup. See Ceremonies & Events.
• Conferences and panels. The audience hears the stage on their own devices. See Conferences & Panels.
• Live talks. Any setting where one voice reaches many listeners in real time.

What OpenedMic Is Not

OpenedMic is broadcast-first: one host, many listeners. To set accurate expectations, OpenedMic is not:

• a meeting or video-conferencing platform
• an everyone-talks-at-once model
• guest video or guest camera
• guest screen sharing
• more than one guest speaking at the same time

Approved Guest Mic

OpenedMic includes the Approved Guest Mic: a controlled way for a single listener to speak, only when the broadcaster approves. It is:

• Audio-only. No guest video, camera, or screen sharing.
• Broadcaster-approved. The listener requests, the broadcaster decides.
• One guest at a time. Never two speakers at once.
• Revocable. The broadcaster can mute or end the guest mic at any moment.

Full detail on the Approved Guest Mic page.

Privacy & Setup

OpenedMic runs in a regular browser and needs little setup:

• No app install. Broadcaster and listeners use a regular browser.
• No account required for normal use. Listeners join by QR code, link, or room code.
• Browser-based. Audio runs over WebRTC between devices.
