OnSong^® & Chill

Bring your audience into the show! OnSong^® Along puts the lyrics of the song you're performin' right on your audience's phones. As you play, everyone follows along on their own screen — & if you're feelin' generous, they can request songs, tip the band, & find your links. This screen is where you set up your band, choose what your audience can do, & go live.

OnSong Along is a Premium feature. You'll need to be signed into your OnSong account, & your device has to be on Wi-Fi or a wired network before you can go live. If you're not signed in yet, this screen will basically beg you to sign in first.

Go Time/Nope Time

Tap Start in the upper right corner to go live & reveal your audience's join code. It stays dimmed until your device has a network address, so if it won't light up, connect to Wi-Fi or a wired network (srsly, we can't help you if you don't). Once you're broadcastin', it becomes a red Stop button that ends the whole party.

If OnSong Along has been broadcastin' for four hours or more, a red badge appears on the OnSong^® Along item in the Utilities menu. ZOMG, you're still goin'? When you open this screen, a Still Broadcasting alert asks whether to keep goin'. Tap Turn Off to stop broadcastin', or Keep Broadcasting to clear the badge & pretend another four hours haven't happened yet.

Your Crew

Choose the band you're presentin' as. Each band has its own name, links, branding, & request list, so you can keep separate identities for different gigs (or for when you're feelin' like a totally different person). If you haven't made one yet, this reads Setup… You can then tap to name your first band. Otherwise you'll head to the Bands screen to add, rename, switch, or remove bands like you're rearrangin' furniture.

Make It Pretty

Style how your band looks to the audience with a background, logo, & colors on the welcome screen & lyrics page. This reads Custom or Default dependin' on whether you've actually bothered to personalize it.

Shameless Plugs

Add tip-jar, social media, music, & website links that appear as tappable icons on your audience's page. This shows how many links the band currently has (aka your cry for help).

Requests

Let your audience request songs from your band's collection (& regret it later).

• Allow Song Requests turns audience requests on or off. When it's on, listeners can browse your collection & send you requests, which show up in Quick Pick like they're your new BFF.
• Limit Requests To appears once requests are on, & lets you choose what the audience can browse — All Songs or a specific book. Curating a dedicated book is a great way to control exactly what they see (i.e., what you actually know how to play).
• Limit Requests Per User also appears once requests are on, & sets how many songs one person can have waitin' at a time. Choose Unlimited or a number from 1 to 10 (if you enjoy chaos, pick Unlimited).

Location & WiFi

Help people find you & get connected. Both options require Location Services permission (aka "yes, we know where you are").

• List My Band Publicly lists your band by location on onsongapp.com/along so nearby listeners can find you without a code (& stalk you, probably).
• Show Wi-Fi Name shows which Wi-Fi network to join on your audience page — handy at venues where the audience needs to be on the house network (aka the one that barely works).

Audience Link

Once you're live, your audience's join code appears here (the gateway to your success or your downfall).

• QR Code is what your audience scans to follow along. Tap it to share, print, or save the code — perfect for a slide or a table tent (or a bathroom stall, no judgment).
• Link is the web address they can open directly. Tap it to copy the URL to your clipboard (& spam it to everyone you know).
