The lobby works on every plan, including the free Home plan. On Home, up to 4 player phones can join a game. Paid plans and the 7-day trial have no phone limit. Start a Trivia night first, so the lobby is open.
Show the join QR on the big screen
Click Big screen > Open big screen in the top bar and move the window to your TV. It shows the join QR code and the teams as they arrive. During the game, click Big screen > Make QR big to show the QR code full screen for late arrivals.
Choose who may start a team
Under Settings, click Change next to New teams and choose what happens when a team arrives after the start: Let them in, Ask me mid-game or Always ask.
Watch the teams arrive
Each team appears in the room as it joins. When a captain lets a teammate in, the panel says so, for example Sam joined Quiz Wizards (approved by the captain).
Start the game
Click Start Game at the bottom right, or press the space bar. The first round's briefing opens. Click Start: with the round name to show the first question.
Tips
- You need at least one team to click Start Game. Until a team joins, the button is dim and says why. To test alone, scan the QR with your own phone and make a team. With Let Quizado run it under How it runs, you can start before anyone joins: Auto-Host waits on the join screen until the first team arrives. Auto-Host is part of Pro and Business.
- To change a round's time limit, penalty, speed scoring, score display or phone sounds for tonight, click Change next to Round rules under Settings, then pick the round. The pack keeps its own settings, so this works for a catalog pack too.
- Under Check the game, click Show the running order to check each round's type, clock and points before you start.
- To close the lobby without playing, click Cancel game in the top bar. To play it another night, click Schedule for later.
Questions
What if my venue has a join link word?
Then the lobby shows that word as the headline, and the six-digit code in the top bar. Players can use either.
Can I remove a team from the lobby?
Yes. Click the menu next to the team in the room and choose Remove team. Quizado asks you to confirm first.
What happens when someone joins late?
That depends on the New teams setting. With Ask me mid-game or Always ask, a banner asks you to let the team in or decline it.
