Step by step
- 1Open the soundboardEvery host screen has a soundboard button. It opens over the top of the game without stopping anything.Take me there
- 2Learn the built-in soundsApplause, air horn, drum roll and a few others are there from the start. Tap any of them for an instant effect.
- 3Add your ownUpload your own clips - a winner jingle, the couple favourite song sting - and give each one a label and an emoji.Take me there
- 4Game sound effectsIndividual games can have their own effects for right and wrong answers, and for the winner. Those are set inside the game rather than the soundboard.
- 5Keep it tastefulA short sting lands better than a long clip. Play the winner effect once and let the room react.
Common problems
A sound effect will not play
Check the host device output. Effects play through the same output as the game music, so if one is silent the other will be too.
The soundboard is not available
The soundboard is switched on per account. Ask your admin if it is missing from your host screen.
