Live Quiz · Setting one up

Six steps. About three minutes.

A live quiz puts one screen on the projector and lets the whole room answer on their phones — real field photos, real code questions, results everyone can see. Everything below happens in the host console.

It's also in your menu under More → Community → Live Quiz Host once you're signed in.

    Create the session

    Fastest route is a preset — one click builds the session and fills it with questions. Or name an empty one and pick your own.

    Fill it from the bank

    Choose a source, tick the questions you want, add them. Field photos come with their picture and citation attached. You can also write your own — question, up to four answers, mark the right one.

    Projector

    Open the big screen

    This is the page the room looks at — join code, QR, then the live vote. Put it on the projector and leave the console on your laptop. Full-screen it with F11.

    The room

    Let them in

    People scan the QR with their phone camera — no app needed. Names appear on the wall as they arrive, so you can see the room fill and know when to begin. Not everyone scanning? Copy the join link and send it.

    Run it

    Start opens question one. Watch the votes land, close the vote when the room settles, and the answer comes up with its citation. Next moves on. After the last question you get the results board — accuracy, the toughest call, and where the vote split.

Stuck? Ask Clara. She knows this walkthrough. Ask her “how do I set up a live quiz?” while you're on the host console and she'll take you through it, highlighting each control on the page as you go.

What the room sees

The big screen shows how many people picked A, B, C or D — never who picked what. Nobody has to be wrong in front of their manager for the room to learn something. Names appear only in the lobby while people are joining; once you press Start, the screen carries counts and nothing else.
