How do I use the Host Coach?

The Host Coach is a prompter on your host panel. At every moment of the night it shows what to do and one line to say out loud, in every game.

Every plan

Captions are on the video.

Before you start

Free on every plan. The Host Coach is off until you turn it on. It is saved to your account, so it works at every venue and on every device you sign in on.

  1. Open the invitation in the lobby

    Open a lobby. At the top you see New to hosting? Try the Host Coach. Click Show me. The window Meet your Host Coach shows an example of the card.

  2. Turn it on with Try now

    In the window, click Try now. The Host Coach card shows in the lobby, and the invitation goes away. Click Not now to close the window and keep the Coach off.

  3. Read the card

    Do tells you what to do at this moment. Say out loud gives you one line to say to the room. Up next names the moment that comes after this one. The card changes by itself when the game moves on.

  4. Get another line

    Do not like the line? Click Another line. Each moment has many lines, so you can keep clicking.

  5. Hide the card

    Click Hide. The card folds into a small Host Coach button. A dot on it tells you that a new moment started. Click the button to open the card again.

  6. Turn it off in Settings

    In the sidebar, click Settings. Under Venues, click your venue, then click Gameplay. Turn Host Coach off. What is this? opens the window Meet your Host Coach, with Try now when you want it back.

Tips

  • Only you see the card. When Auto-Host runs Trivia, the big screen shows Host Coach lines as captions. An MC voice can say many of them on the big screen.
  • When a question has a fun fact, the card shows the fun fact as the line to say after the reveal, marked Fun fact. The question panel shows the fun fact too, except while the open card shows it, so a folded card never hides it.
  • The Host Coach works in every game: Trivia, Price Check, Catch That Tune, Music Bingo, Family Face-Off, QuizoParty and Territory.
  • Click the X on the invitation when you do not want the Host Coach. It does not come back, on any device. You can still turn the Coach on in Settings.
  • On a short screen the card starts folded. Click Host Coach to open it. It then stays open on that device.
  • On a device that has not downloaded the lines yet, the card shows only Do. The lines to say come once that device is online.

Questions

What does the Host Coach cost?

Nothing. It is free on every plan, the free Home plan too, and it uses no AI questions.

Can the players see it?

No. The card is on your host panel only. When Auto-Host runs Trivia, the big screen shows Host Coach lines as captions. Player phones do not show them.

How do I turn it on or off later?

Open Settings, your venue, then Gameplay, and turn Host Coach on or off. The setting is saved to your account, for every venue. While the Coach is off, the lobby shows the invitation again, unless you closed it with the X.

Can I use it in the Mobile Apps?

Yes. The Mobile Apps show the same card and the same setting.
