General Questions
Question: Why is there no voting or Play Along during the Auditions?
Answer: There is no Play Along this season, but you can personalize your buzzer with a variety of judge sound bites and watch along with the judges. You can also watch the latest highlights; tweet Simon, Sofia, Heidi, Howie and Terry; and much more with The America’s Got Talent App.
Question: Why am I unable to install or update The America's Got Talent Official App?
Answer: Your device operating system or app may be outdated. The America's Got Talent Official App supports iOS version 11+ and Android version 6.0+. If your device is running an older operating system, you will be unable to successfully install the app. Please update your device to the latest iOS or Android operating system version and then try to install the app again.
Question: Why are the app’s play along screens not timed properly with the show?
Answer: If the app’s play along screens do not appear to be properly timed with the show, it could be related to the specific show feed that you are viewing. The app is timed to the NBC television broadcast feed. As a result, If you are watching via a live digital feed (e.g. NBC App, NBC.com or Hulu live feed), the timing will be off by a minute or more due to the time delays associated with those feeds.
Voting Questions
Question: I am having NBCUniversal Profile sign in or sign up issues, what should I do?
Answer: Please try the troubleshooting steps below:
- If you encounter a message saying "A profile has already been created with this email address": Note that your NBCUniversal Profile uses the email address, Facebook profile, Google account or Apple ID you entered when signing up as its unique identifier. If you signed up using your email address, you can only sign in using that email address. However, if you signed up via Facebook or Google or Apple, you'll have to use your Facebook profile, Google account or Apple ID to sign in; and you cannot sign in with your email.
- If you encounter a message saying you entered an "invalid email or password": You may have signed up through your Facebook profile, Google account or Apple ID and may need to sign in that way instead. However, if you did not sign up via Facebook or Google or Apple, try resetting your password to your email login.
- If you want to reset your password, try resetting it here: NBC.com/request-password.*
If you do not receive an email from the password reset, you may have used a different email, or you may not have an NBCUniversal Profile account. To create one, use the sign up screen.
Question: Why does it say “You are not eligible to vote?”
Answer: The America's Got Talent vote and save are available in the United States and Puerto Rico only. For official rules, please go to NBC.com/AGTRules.
Question: How do I "lock in" my votes?
Answer: When the voting window is open, click on the act(s) you want to vote for, move the slider or tap/click on +/- buttons to the desired number (up to 10) then select "submit votes". You can change your votes anytime until the vote closes. At the end of the night’s voting window, your votes will be cast for the acts you selected.
