Can people who aren't at the party listen along?

The short answer

Yes — DopaBeat events have a web listen page, so a friend in another city can open the invite link and hear what the party hears, live, from a browser.

The details

  • The invite link doubles as a broadcast link for absent friends
  • Remote listeners see now-playing and the queue like any guest
  • Long-distance friends can even request and dedicate songs into the party

How it works in practice

DopaBeat costs nothing to host with: guests scan a QR code, request from their own phones, and you approve what plays — all on YouTube’s full catalogue.

The host creates an event, shares the QR code or invite link, and the shared queue does the rest: guests request from their own phones, votes order the queue, and the host approves what plays. The whole setup takes about a minute — most of which is picking the event name.
