Launching the Bingo Game Projector View

The Projector View for your Bingo Game is a centralized display that your entire crowd sees at your event. This view automatically shows all the details of your Bingo Game like the currently called square, Game Notes, Live Rankings, and also displays the instructions and URL on how your crowd can access your Bingo Game on their mobile devices.

Your crowd uses the Projector View to "follow along" while using their mobile device to play.

Do I Have To Use the Projector View?

No, your Bingo Game will still work even if you don't display the Projector View. All the information needed for your audience to play is on the Mobile View on their mobile devices such as game instructions, called squares, Game Notes, rankings, etc. However, the Projector View also shows real-time rankings and previously-called squares in a large-format presentation-view (similar to Keynote or PowerPoint), which is beneficial for your audience to follow on one centralized screen.

Launch the Projector View

To open the Projector View click on the large purple Projector View button under the Control Center heading on the Experience Dashboard. The Projector View will open in a new browser tab. This browser tab can be detached and then dragged to the projected desktop of your computer.

Set the Projector View to Full-Screen Mode

After opening the Projector View in a new browser tab, you'll detach the browser tab and move it to an "Extended Desktop" area on your computer that is connected to a projector, HDTV, or other display sources. These are often connected to your computer's external display ports via HDMI, DVI, VGA, etc.

Once the external device is showing the Projector View's browser tab, click the Full-Screen button in the lower-right-hand corner of the Projector View. This will put the Projector View into the full-screen presentation mode. You should do this bit of setup before your audience arrives at your event.

Your audience can now see the QR Code, URL, and instructions for joining your Bingo Game. Once they've joined, they can now use the Projector View to follow along with your Bingo Game. The Projector View will show appropriate messages based on your Bingo Game's status such as when it is in the Ready state, the Live state, or the Finished state. It also shows the called square, previously called squares, Rankings Leaderboard (R), and Game Notes (N).

Next Steps

Now that you know how to open the Mobile View and launch the Projector View, we're ready to actually play and test your Bingo Game!  This is the fun part! Go to Running the Bingo Game.
