How a Team Quiz Works
When teamplay is enabled, players join teams to compete for points against other teams. Before presenting, you set up the teams and the scoring rules. When a player joins, they are asked to select one of the teams you created.How to Set Up Your Teams
Turn on play as team
Click the switch next to Play as team, then click the blue Set up text. The team setup menu appears.
Set the number of teams and team size
Set the number of teams that will play and the maximum number of players allowed in each team. If you do not know these numbers yet, estimate a high number so everyone can join the team they want.
- Maximum number of teams: 500
- Maximum team size: 1200
Choose how teams score points
Choose one of three scoring rules:
- Average score of all members, including zero points for members who answer incorrectly or do not answer.
- Total score of all members. This rule handicaps teams with fewer members.
- Fastest answer only, which registers only the score of the fastest answer from each team, even if it is incorrect.
Name your teams
Change the team names. If you plan to let players choose their own team names, they need to tell you the name so you can enter it here.
