How do I host Quizado on a small laptop screen?

Quizado adapts to smaller screens, and a few settings give you more room. The host screen stays on the laptop, and the big screen goes to the TV.

Every plan
Before you start

This works on every plan. The tips below are for the web app in a browser and for the Quizado desktop app on Windows and Mac.

  1. Let the desktop app fit your screen

    The desktop app zooms out by itself on a small or scaled screen, so the whole dashboard fits. If you changed the zoom, open the View menu and click Fit to Screen to go back to the fitted size.

  2. Zoom the desktop app by hand

    In the View menu, use Zoom In and Zoom Out. The app remembers your choice for this screen size.

  3. Zoom out in the browser

    In the web app, press Ctrl and minus on Windows, or Cmd and minus on a Mac. This is your browser's own zoom, not a Quizado setting. Press Ctrl or Cmd and 0 to reset it.

  4. Use the compact sidebar

    When the window is narrow, the sidebar turns into a slim rail of icons with short labels. Everything is still there. Make the window wider to get the full sidebar back.

  5. Put the big screen on the TV

    During a game, click Game Screen and drag the new window to your TV or projector. Keep the control panel on the laptop, so the laptop only shows what you need.

Tips

  • Close other browser tabs and full-screen the browser window (F11 on Windows) for a few more pixels.
  • The pack builder is easiest to use on a window at least 1200 px wide. On a smaller window its pickers open over the page instead of beside it.

Questions

Can I host from a tablet or a phone?

Yes. Use the Quizado app for iPhone, iPad or Android. It is made for a touch screen.

The desktop app looks too small to read. What do I do?

Open the View menu and click Zoom In. The app keeps that zoom for this screen size.
