Playing Games with Friends During Quarantine Using Zoom

I've been hosting games with my Bunco gals and my theater friends using Zoom and online games purchased from JackBox ($5 and up). We've played Fibbage and Drawful 2 so far and love it! We usually play for about an hour (2 games of each) and call it a night.
If you haven't used Zoom, it's pretty easy to figure out, but you can always find tutorials on YouTube.

How to Host in Zoom using Jackbox games:

1. Create a meeting and give the link to your friends
2. Run the game on your computer and "share" your screen. This is your "game board"
3. Everyone should have their phones ready-this is your "game controller"
4. Type in the code from Jackbox on your phone
5. Play the game, they are not hard to figure out

Notes:

• If your game freezes or you get kicked out, just log back in with the code
• You can hook up your computer to your TV with an HDMI cord if you want a bigger screen
• If you minimize Zoom, you will still get a small box in the upper right corner as you play your game so you can still see people (no matter what, you will be able to hear everyone)
