SpeakMic for Android
Broadcast and walkie-talkie with background audio — keep the session alive even when the screen turns off or you switch apps. No browser workarounds needed.
How to install
Install from Google Play
Tap Install, join the free testers group, then accept the invitation on Google Play and install the app — the app is in testing there for now.
Grant permissions
Allow microphone access and notifications. For background audio to survive a locked screen, also grant battery-optimization exemption when prompted.
Broadcast as usual
All your existing rooms, links, and QR codes work identically in the app. It's the same SpeakMic — just with uninterrupted background audio.
What the Android app adds
Audio with screen locked
A foreground service keeps the audio pipeline running when you lock the phone or switch apps — Android treats it like an active phone call.
Updates through Google Play
Installed from Google Play like any other app, so updates arrive by themselves — no files to download by hand.
Same rooms, same links
Your broadcast URLs and QR codes work identically in the app. Switch from browser to app anytime without recreating rooms.
Frequently asked questions
How do I install the SpeakMic Android app?
The app is in testing on Google Play. Join the free testers group first (one tap with a Google account), then accept the invitation on Google Play and install it like any other app — updates arrive through Google Play too.
Do I need the app to use SpeakMic?
No. Every room works in a phone or computer browser. The app is for Android users who want the audio to keep going with the screen locked, plus the room volume control.
Is the Android app free?
Yes. Like the web version, it's free, with no account, subscription or ads.
Is there an iPhone app?
Not a native one. On an iPhone SpeakMic runs in Safari, and you can add it to the Home Screen to open it like an app.
