Questions

Does the screen need an app?
No. If it has a web browser, it works: smart TVs, tablets, laptops and streaming sticks with a browser. Open the link and go fullscreen.
Do I need an account?
No. One screen run from its own laptop is free. Connecting a phone or another screen starts a 2-day free trial, with no email or card.
Can I run it from the laptop alone?
Yes. Click or press Space to draw, ← → to change slides, ↑ ↓ for the score (Shift for the second team) and P to start or pause the timer. Remote has the same buttons. R reveals a hidden line, and 1 to 8 play sounds. [ and ] change scenes.
Can people see a hidden answer early?
Not on the screen. The answer is in the sign’s link, though, so anyone who opens it on their own device could read it. Use reveals for showmanship, not secrets.
What if the internet drops?
The screen keeps showing what it has, and a live screen picks up your changes once it’s back online.
