# k5e > k5e runs live karaoke nights. Singers use k5e Spot on their phone to get in line, request songs and see when they're up. Hosts use k5e Cue to run the queue, the rotation and the screen for the room. k5e runs anywhere with an internet connection: Spot in a phone's browser, Cue in a laptop browser. It started in North Carolina in May 2026. So far: 7 nights at 2 venues, 140+ participants, 450+ songs requested. ## For singers - k5e Spot is your place in line at a k5e karaoke night. It's free for singers and runs in your phone's browser, with nothing to download. - A Spot account is needed and works at every k5e night: create one at https://spot.k5e.live/account/register, or sign in at https://spot.k5e.live/account/login. - To join a night, scan the QR code at the venue or enter the six-character event code on https://k5e.live/ (it opens https://spot.k5e.live/p/). Codes are 6 letters and numbers, with no I, O, 0 or 1. - Spot shows the singer's place in line and roughly when they're up. With Spot on the Home Screen and the host's notifications on, it tells them when their turn is coming up. ## For hosts - k5e Cue runs your karaoke night's queue from a browser on your laptop, alongside the karaoke player you already use. Singers request songs from their phones, the rotation keeps it fair, and the room screen shows who's up. - Cue doesn't play the tracks yet: the host cues each song in their own karaoke player, then hits Next in Cue. - Hosting is by invitation during the soft launch. To request access, email info@k5e.live with your name, your venue and city, how often you host, what you use today, where your song library comes from, and whether you want the desktop app or k5e Player. - Hosts who already have access sign in at https://cue.k5e.live/login. ## Coming soon Announced, not available yet, with no dates: - Cue for macOS and Windows: the same Cue, as an app on your Mac or Windows laptop. - k5e Player: plays the queue's tracks under Cue's control, so managing and playing the queue happen in one place. ## Pricing - k5e is in its soft launch. Hosting is by invitation. - k5e Spot is free for singers, and hosting with k5e Cue is free during the soft launch.
