Common setup questions.
HostMyQuiz is built for real venue conditions: different screens, busy rooms, weak Wi-Fi, and hosts who need simple answers quickly.
Do we need a TV to run HostMyQuiz?
No. A TV makes the night feel better because teams can see questions, timers, and leaderboards, but the quiz can still run without one. The host can read questions aloud while teams answer on their phones.
What is the difference between a TV browser and HDMI?
A TV browser means the TV opens the audience screen directly, usually on a smart TV, Fire Stick, Android TV, or connected box. HDMI means a laptop is plugged into the TV and shows the audience screen from the laptop. In both cases, the host dashboard stays private on the host device.
What if we only have one TV or limited screen access?
Use the screen for the lobby QR code, key moments, leaderboards, and winner reveals. The host can still read the questions aloud for anyone who cannot see the screen clearly.
Can we run the quiz from a phone, tablet, or laptop?
Yes. A laptop is best for hosting because it is easier to manage the room, teams, and scoring. A tablet works well in landscape mode. A phone can work for small tests or backup, but it is less comfortable for a full quiz night.
How do teams join?
Teams scan a QR code or use a short join code. They enter a team name and play from one phone or tablet per team. They do not need to download an app or create an account.
What happens if a team refreshes or loses signal?
The team should reopen the same link. HostMyQuiz stores a reconnect token in the browser so the team can return to the same session where possible.
Can the host fix problems during the quiz?
Yes. The host can pause, skip a question, rename teams, remove teams, disqualify teams, edit scores, and keep the quiz moving if something happens during a live night.
Is this suitable for care homes as well as pubs?
Yes. The core system is browser-based and tablet friendly. Care-home mode is planned with larger text, calmer pacing, and less intense visuals.
