What would you think about turning your computer into a karaoke system? In order to achieve this, we would only have to search, download and install a certain number of specialized applications, which have the capacity to match the lyrics of the song with a video that we have acquired from the web. Despite being a good solution, the problem is that the user will have to search for said song lyrics and perhaps have to download the video.
But if we use a personalized service from MusiXMatch we will not have to do absolutely any of the above but rather, be somewhat creative and intelligent to use it as a communication bridge between our browser favorite and YouTube videos.

How to access MusiXMatch services to use your song lyrics

Without the need to download any specialized software, tool or client to our personal computer, MusiXMatch offers us the possibility of using the different song lyrics that have been hosted on its servers. For this reason, we would only need our Internet browser (whichever is our preference) and nothing else, and we can make this system cross platform. This means that thanks to the fact that the execution will be carried out with the Internet browser, everything that we will explain below can be done on Windows, Linux or Mac.
The first thing you have to do is go to the website of the song lyrics offered by MusiXMatch and start looking for the one you want to see and also sing. A first advantage to rescue is found in the use of this search engine, because just by typing the first lyrics of the song (or the name of the artist), a few alternatives will immediately appear thanks to its predictive text.

If in the results we can see the song that we are interested in singing, we will only have to select it so that it appears immediately at the bottom of the window. Unfortunately, at this moment we will encounter a small problem if we have not opened a free account on this service offered by MusiXMatch. The lyrics of the song will have been found and the video that corresponds to it will appear at the top of the interface, although the synchronization of both elements will not be present when playing this video.

At the bottom of the video we will be told to synchronize the lyrics of the song from the YouTube video in MusiXMatch a session is required. Despite seeming like an inconvenience, this can be easily solved if we have a Facebook account, since with a few steps, we will be able to link this service to it.

You could also use a Google account, this being an aspect that will depend on the use you are going to give to your hours of entertainment and what you want to show to contacts on one of your social networks.
By synchronizing our social network profile with MusiXMatch, we can have access to a large number of services although for the moment, we are only interested linking song lyrics with YouTube videos.

After completing this entire process, we will be shown again the login window for MusiXMatch, having to choose the button that corresponds to the social network that we linked previously. Once we do this, we will immediately jump to the window where the YouTube video will play.

We can notice that now, at the bottom the text of the song lyrics are displayed that we have chosen. Those who have used the service continuously mention that there are certain occasions in which the lyrics of the song could have a failed synchronization time (although not very noticeable) because all the material, in reality, are contributions from many users who use these resources.
