How to use the karaoke feature on your 2026 Samsung Smart TV

• Samsung Smart TV: All 2026 UHD and above models.

You can start singing right away using either a physical microphone or your mobile device. No complex equipment is required.

• Insert the USB dongle (included in the microphone package) into the USB port on your Samsung Smart TV.
• Press and hold the power button on the microphone. It will automatically pair with your TV for instant use.

The 2026 update introduces professional-grade and social features to enhance your singing experience:

• Physical microphone support: Enjoy a professional grip and feel with a dedicated microphone connected via a USB dongle.
• Multi-mic mode: Sing together with friends and family. You can connect up to four physical microphones and two mobile devices simultaneously.
• Interactive cheer effects: Up to five friends can join via SmartThings to send fun on-screen effects, such as clapping or tambourine shaking, to boost the atmosphere.
• Pro-level audio settings: Customize your sound with adjustable echo and reverb effects for a studio-quality performance.

Review the tips and precautions below to ensure stable connectivity, clear sound quality, and proper use of the karaoke feature.

• Prevent feedback (howling): To ensure clear sound, maintain a distance of at least 3 meters (10 feet) between the TV speakers and the microphone or smartphone.
• Keep your screen on: When using a mobile microphone, ensure your smartphone screen remains unlocked. Locking the screen may disconnect the microphone.
• Network requirements: Your TV and mobile device must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and both must be signed in to the same Samsung account.
