How to run the lobby: join code, QR and teams

The lobby is where the room joins before the first question. You share the code, watch the teams arrive and start the game when the room is ready.

Every plan

Captions are on the video.

Before you start

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.

  1. Share the code and link

    The Player Code card shows the code and the join link. Click the link to copy it for a group chat. The code is also in the top bar next to Players code:.

  2. Show the join QR on the big screen

    Click Game 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 Highlight QR to show the QR code full screen for late arrivals.

  3. Choose who may start a team

    Under New teams, choose what happens when a team arrives after the start: Let them in, Ask me mid-game or Always ask.

  4. Watch the teams arrive

    Each team appears under Teams as it joins. When a captain lets a teammate in, the panel says so, for example Sam joined Quiz Wizards (approved by the captain).

  5. Start the game

    Click Start Game. 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. With Auto-Host you can start before anyone joins: it waits on the join screen until the first team arrives.
  • Open Running order to check each round's type, clock and points before you start.
  • To close the lobby without playing, click End Game in the top bar.

Questions

What if my venue has a join link word?

Then the lobby shows that word as the headline, and the six-digit code under it. Players can use either.

Can I remove a team from the lobby?

Yes. Each team under Teams has a remove button. 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.
