How to run virtual bingo

Pick your platform and format. Open the caller in a browser tab and share that tab — not your full screen — on Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet, so viewers see a clean feed without your other windows. 75-ball is the most familiar format for a general remote audience, 80-ball trims the round for a faster online pace, and word bingo works well for remote trivia or team events.

Distribute cards before the call. Generate a PDF set ahead of time and email or share it in chat, or send the online marker link so players can mark cards directly on their own device without printing anything.

Run the caller in fullscreen. Fullscreen mode fills the shared tab with a large, clean number display and no browser chrome, which stays readable even on a small shared-screen view.

Keep the game recoverable. Saved games mean a dropped call or refreshed browser will not lose game state. Hide call history for a cleaner broadcast look, or leave it visible so players can double check a number they missed.

Setting up your video call

Share the caller tab, not your screen

Sharing just the browser tab keeps notifications, other windows, and your desktop out of view — cleaner for viewers and more private for the host.

Distribute cards in advance

Send a PDF card pack by email or chat before the call starts, or share the marker link so players mark cards on their own device in real time.

Design for the smallest screen

Fullscreen mode's large number display holds up even when a viewer is watching on a phone during the call.

Virtual bingo tips

  • Use fullscreen mode and share your screen for the caller view.
  • Hide history for a clean broadcast, or keep it visible for verification.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to share the caller on a video call?
Share the browser tab running the caller rather than your full screen or desktop — it keeps the view clean and avoids exposing other windows or notifications.
How do players get their bingo cards for a remote game?
Generate a PDF set ahead of time and send it by email or chat, or share the marker link so players mark their card directly on their own device.
Can players mark their cards on their phone or do they need to print?
They can use the free online marker on any phone, tablet, or laptop — no printing required, though printed cards work fine too if players prefer them.
What happens if I lose my connection or refresh my browser mid-game?
Game progress is saved automatically, so refreshing or reopening the caller picks the game back up where you left off.
Which format works best for a remote or livestream audience?
75-ball is the most broadly familiar format. 80-ball is a good option for a faster online pace, and word bingo works well for remote trivia or team-building events.
Is this free to use for a virtual bingo night?
Yes. Generators, callers, and markers are free to use with no sign-up, for any remote or livestream event.
