Before we run your Bingo Game, let's open up the Mobile View to see what your crowd will see on their mobile devices and also play along when we test our Bingo Game shortly. You can open up the Mobile View on an actual mobile device (e.g. your mobile phone, your tablet, etc.) or you can open up the mobile client on a web browser tab on your desktop computer, laptop, or iMac. All devices are supported.
The Mobile View simply refers to the version of your Bingo Game that your crowd will see on their mobile devices. This is what your crowd uses to sign in and play your Bingo Game. You can see and experiment with this ahead of your actual event in order to ensure everything is working to your expectations.
To open the Mobile View, do one of the following:
From the Experience Dashboard
This is the easiest way to test your Bingo Game while still working in the Experience Dashboard as you edit your game. Simply click on the large blue Mobile View button in the Control Center area of your Experience Dashboard. This button will open a test Mobile View browser window on your desktop or laptop computer. This browser window simulates how the Bingo Game will look on smaller mobile devices. You can then have it open alongside your Experience Dashboard for testing.
During your actual event, your crowd will access your Bingo Game using the following Mobile Device instructions.
On Your Mobile Device
Open up your mobile browser (e.g. Safari, Chrome, etc.) on your mobile device (e.g. smartphone, tablet, etc.) and in the URL field, type in crowd.live. You will then be asked to Enter A Code. Simply enter the five-digit Bingo Game Code for your Bingo Game from the Experience Dashboard. In this example, our code is ZQCCP as shown on the Experience Dashboard. Your Experience Code will be different. Please see your Experience Dashboard.
Signing Into Your Trivia Game from the Mobile View
Once you have opened the Mobile View, it will ask you to enter a Nickname. By default, a nickname is needed as a minimum from each player in order to join your Bingo Game. This is so each player can be displayed on the Live Rankings Leaderboard.
When the Mobile View is opened, enter a Nickname into the first field. Then click the Go! button. The Mobile View will update to say Bingo Game Will Begin Shortly. Each player's Mobile View will be in a holding state until you start your Bingo Game.
