--- GAME SETUP ---
SCREEN
The "Screen" button at the top right of the control screen will turn the game screen on. If you have multiple displays connected it will also let you select which screen you want the game on. Windowed mode is a great way to play the game on a single screen if you want to practice.
HOW TO SET UP BUZZERS & 2nd SCREEN
This game is way more fun if you have buttons to buzz in. The players will be using the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 number keys to buzz in. Connecting buzzers that will send those keystrokes to the games is our favorite way to play. Here is a video that shows how to connect buzzers to a game.
More info, tutorials, and where to buy wireless buttons.
CCG.BUZZ setup
CCG.BUZZ is a great way to buzz in from anywhere on the planet. If you would like more info on CCG.BUZZ, check out our CrowdBuzzer page.
QuizShow V3 now has CCG.BUZZ integrated right into the game. You can set up everything at the bottom of the control screen. Any name you have in the leaderboard will be sent to CCG.BUZZ and will appear in the teams pop up menu.
When you are ready to play just click the CCG.BUZZ "ON" button. This will generate a game code and send your team names. Then tell your players to go to CCG.BUZZ and enter the game code.

- "Background Alpha" will turn off the background layer of the game. This will reveal any image below the game. So simply changing the computers desktop wallpaper will let you change the look of the game. If you want to get really fancy you could also play a video under the game to have an animated background. Use Quicktime Player/ Youtube /OBS / etc... set to full screen and hit loop. So many possibilities.
