Bingo On Zoom With Students
Zoom Bingo Overview If you fancy a game of online bingo that’s truly unique, zip, zap and zoom to Zoom Bingo — one of the few UK bingo sites powered by Play N GO Networks. Play exciting 75 and 90 ball bingo in several rooms with roomies who are hungry to win that next huge progressive jackpot. Zoom Bingo bingo card with dog barking, doorbell ringing, forget to mute, can't get video to work, painfully loud echo, freeze frame, food eating on camera, talking while on mute, kid runs by screen. That’s how Zoom rose above the conference call bingo game. Zoom was born out of WebEx, which was founded in 1995 and acquired by Cisco for $3.2 billion in 2007. Early WebEx engineer Eric Yuan founded Zoom in 2011 with help from early investment and advice from WebEx founder Subrah Iyar. Can you play bingo and listen to Zoom on the same device? Yes - on the devices we have tested. On most mobiles and tablets it's possible to have Zoom, WhatsApp, etc running in the background while the browser is open. So you can listen to the bingo calls and mark your card on the same device. We cannot guarantee this will work on all devices. You can create bingo cards for a variety of activities. Use them for teaching kids while having fun, during homeschooling, or for birthday parties. Use this bingo card maker to create a fun activity for Zoom calls with friends and family. How To Play Bingo With Friends Online.
You can do this many different ways. However it is easiest to use Zoom or Facebook live as long as you can share your screen.
Step 1 – Bingo Cards
Option 1: Printed or Online Cards
The first step was to find Bingo cards for everyone. MyFreeBingoCards.com makes this easy and free for up to 30 players. Click on the link that says 30 cards for free.
Once you do you’ll be given the option to download the cards in pdf. Instead, you can get an individual link for each card that can be texted or emailed.
The online cards actually allow you to play virtually and mark them as you play using your phone, tablet or computer.
Email or text the cards out to everyone playing. I would suggest doing this earlier in the day or the day before so that you can start
Option 2: Make Your Own
With a small group it might be easy to have everyone make their own cards. Post some instructions ahead of time on what the letters and numbers should be. It needs to be a 5×5 grid with Bingo in letters across the top. Then they choose 5 numbers under each letter from the following choices B 1-15, I 16-30, N 31-45, G 46-60, O 61-75.
Bingo Calling
Online Bingo With Zoom
Some of you may have a bingo set at your house. However, for the rest of us I found a great option. Go to letsplaybingo.io. This is a simple and absolutely free bingo caller program that automatically calls and displays called numbers. Everyone seeing the screen can hear and see each ball called.
Other options could include using a bingo cage you have at the church or at home. Or you could make slips of paper with the numbers on them and call out that way.
Video Set Up
Here is where you have a few options.
Zoom Bingo Caller
Option 1 – Cell Phone Video
The first option is to set your phone in front of your computer screen and broadcast to instagram live or Facebook live. Those who get a bingo could text you.
Option 2 – Zoom

A second option would be to use the screen share function of Zoom to share the bingo caller window with everyone. In addition, make sure and share the audio as well.
Option 3 – Zoom and Facebook Live
Finally you can use the screen share function of Zoom to then share on Facebook live. This is what the guys at stuffyoucanuse do with their trivia games.
It’s a little more intricate set up but it will allow many people to follow along. And you won’t have to worry about zoom invitations and so many people in one call.
