LiveBingo help

• A laptop with an HDMI cable is the most reliable: open the TV link from your host screen and make the browser full screen.
• A smart TV with a web browser works too: type the TV link into the TV's browser.
• Casting a Chrome tab or mirroring with AirPlay works, with a second or two of delay. Use the phone you host from for something else, not the one you're mirroring.
• The TV link has no host controls on it, so it's safe on a screen everyone can see.

• Players scan the QR code on the TV, or go to FreeLiveBingo.com and type the six-digit code.
• Nobody installs an app or makes an account to play.
• Without an account a game holds 5 players; a free account holds 20. When a game is full, the next player waits and you can let them in from your phone without restarting.

• Check the code against the TV. Codes are six digits, and an old code stops working when its game ends.
• Try mobile data instead of the Wi-Fi. Some office, school and hotel networks block live games.
• Reload the page. If the phone already joined, it comes back as the same name.
• A very old phone may not run the game. It can still watch the TV.

• A player who reloads or loses signal rejoins as the same name, and the game carries on without them in the meantime.
• If the host's phone drops, the game keeps going on the TV. Open your host link again, on the same phone, to take back control.
• Removed a player by mistake? They can join again with a different name.

• The voice caller reads each call out loud from the device showing the TV screen, so turn the TV or laptop volume up.
• Some browsers only play sound after a tap: tap the TV screen once when the game starts.
• The voice comes with the Bingo Night Pass and Host Pro.

• Every bingo is checked against the calls. A card that doesn't have the pattern yet says so, and the game carries on.
• Squares mark themselves when they're called, so a missed tap never costs anyone a bingo.
