Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is using teamquiz.dk really for free?
   Yes, you don't have to pay anything - just leave some feedback (especially if there's something you don't like about the system!)
2. Can I use a free Spotify subscription?
   You can use a free subscription to import songs, but not to control playback of songs - in this case a premium Spotify subscription is required.
3. Which Spotify player/device do you recommend?
   You can use any Spotify player you like (phone, tablet, web player or desktop app etc.), but it will be annoying for you if it goes into sleep/standby mode during your quiz.
   A mobile phone or tablet will likely do this after some time unless you disable this - for this reason the web player or desktop app is recommended to use.
   Should your device go to standby mode and you start to play a song you will just get an error message, and you can wake up the device and try again.
4. Can I play the music myself using another streaming service?
   Sure - if you don't have or don't want to use a premium Spotify subscription, but want to play music as part of your quiz, you can still use teamquiz.dk.
   You just have to control playback/pause of music manually using your favorite music system.
   Teams can still enter their answers in teamquiz.dk, you can verify them and so on.
5. My Spotify player does not show up in the Spotify device list - what's wrong?
   Your device probably went to standby mode (see above), or it is using another Spotify account than the one you connected to teamquiz.dk
6. Can I use teamquiz.dk for online streaming a live quiz?
   Absolutely! Just make sure to pick a low latency streaming service with a near realtime stream e.g. twitch.tv where you can stream with just 2-4 seconds of delay so that your video & sound stream is not too long after your actions in teamquiz.dk e.g. starting a new sound clip.
7. How many teams can join my quiz? Is there a limit?
   There is no limit on the number of teams, but obviously verifying the team answers will take longer the more teams you have in the quiz.
8. How many teams have you tried with?
   Up to 36 teams in an online quiz, and just a single person verifying the answers
9. Any limitations on the number of quizzes/rounds/rows/questions?
   There is a limit of 50 rows per round and 4 questions per row
10. Can I have someone help me in verifying the answers so I can focus on the audience?
    Yes, you can either login on an additional PC with your usual quizmaster login, or you can write an email to info@teamquiz.dk and we will create an additional login for you with access to your quiz (yes, it's also free).

Tips

1. Zooming: Use the browsers built-in zoom function to increase or decrease the size of the text.
   In most browsers you press CTRL key and '-' or '+'
   
2. Fullscreen: To get the most space available use the browsers fullscreen mode, typically F-11 key
   
3. Many buttons and components in the user interface will show tooltips when hovering the mouse over them.
   So if in doubt what a button does, try to hover the mouse over it for a few seconds to see the tooltip.
   
4. If you have many teams in the quiz, it can be helpful to have another person helping you to verify the team answers while the quiz is running to minimize the delays between rounds
   This person can verify the answers using another PC, and you can focus on entertaining the teams, starting the music etc.
   If another login is needed for this, please contact info@teamquiz.dk and a login with access to same quiz will be created for you.
   
5. To test your own quiz and to see what it looks like from the teams perspective, you should join with a few teams and try the quiz.
   Important: To have both a quizmaster login and a normal team login active at the same time on the _same_ PC, you have to either:
   
   • Use an extra incognito/private window for the team login
   • OR Use another browser profile for the team login (supported in Chrome)
   • OR use a different browser e.g. Firefox/Edge etc. for the team login
   Not doing this, will result in the two login sessions being mixed, and the behavior will be unpredictable and unsupported.
   
   After testing your quiz with team logins, you can easily reset the quiz again to remove the teams.
   Resetting the quiz can be done from the main quiz page by pressing the 'Reset quiz' button.
