Tips for games on Zoom
Share your screen only while people join
Showing the lobby helps people see who’s in. Stop sharing once the game starts: everyone has the game on their own screen.
Use breakout rooms for big groups
With 30+ people, open one lobby per breakout room and post each link in its room. Trivia and This or That also work with everyone together.
Phones are fine
People can stay on Zoom on their laptop and play on their phone, which keeps the video big.
Put it in the invite
Add the game to the meeting agenda so people join with a minute to spare and a working browser.
Questions
Do we need a Zoom app?
No. TeamBridge runs in the browser, so there is no Zoom App to install or approve. Paste the lobby link in the Zoom chat.
Do I have to share my screen?
No. Everyone sees the game on their own device. Some hosts share the lobby while people join, then stop sharing.
Can we use breakout rooms?
Yes. Open a lobby per breakout room and share each link in its room; each group plays its own game.
How many coworkers can play?
It depends on the game: Codenames is best for 4 to 10, Scribble takes up to 100, and Fake Artist and Type Racer work for up to 200. Each card shows the range.
Are the games free?
Seven games are free to play, including Scribble, Codenames and Two Truths, One Lie. Premium games are included with a TeamBridge pass.
