Starting a Jam
Start a Jam Session from any song or set. Click Start a Jam from the editor, Play Mode, the set play-through, or the set editor. Share a link and your band can join on any device with no account required.
Start a Jam appears in four places across the app. All four create a new session and take you directly to it.

Single-song vs set sessions
In a single-song session, the session covers one song from start to finish. There are no Previous Song or Next Song controls.
In a set session, every song in the set is queued up in order. Previous Song and Next Song controls appear in the session controls, and the host advances through the songs manually.
