Just test it first. I thought I had it sorted last week but it took a couple of false starts to get it functioning.

Will do. Thanks! x

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Dec 15, 2020 12:20

Tonight's details are up. See you all later. I have a non-music round!

If you go to "Advanced sharing options" you can share the PC audio without sharing your screen, too.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 22526

That’s perfect Grim..., thank you, because I realised last night that if I played a song through my laptop they’d probably see the title and singer on the media player

myp · **Posted:** Tue Dec 15, 2020 14:45

You can get round this by just sharing one particular app (say, PowerPoint) and click to your music player without anyone seeing it.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 22526

Does this sound like something I could do, or would I make a very obvious hash of it?

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Dec 15, 2020 15:21

We're happy to be your quizzy guinea pigs

Malc · **Posted:** Tue Dec 15, 2020 16:14

Mimi, do you have more than one screen? If you do, it's easy to share the one screen you want them to see (say with the question in) and have the media player on the other screen

Or if you have powerpoint (or google's free alternative) then you can embed the audio in that. It does not show you the name of the tune being played when you embed it.

You'll be fine! There may be no reason to share your screen at all for a music round - just play the music, they'll hear it perfectly and then be completely unable to say who sung it or what it's called (wait, no, the latter bit is just me).

Malc · **Posted:** Tue Dec 15, 2020 16:20

Or you can use chrome to play them:

Or do what Malc does, and rap.

You'll have to start without me tonight as I've got a few things to do first.

You can't tell me what to do, you're not my real dad etc.

We'll jolly well sit there in silence till you join in.

Jem and Gaz won, I came 3rd, and you came not first (quote from Kov, not me being mean)

Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

Shazbat. So last week's 2nd place WAS an anomaly.

Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

I may not make it tomorrow, I'm on call from 2pm to 11pm so it just depends on whether anyone breaks anything late in the day and needs an urgent fix.

We've potentially got two TKD sessions again this evening so we may be 15 minutes or so late, as we were last week.

NervousPete · **Posted:** Tue Dec 22, 2020 18:43

I'll be there! In my Christmassy hat!

Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

Currently sitting outside Rico in Warrington, where I'm to collect a part for a job in Manchester. Rico were contacted to ask them to stay open until 7.45 especially for me.

I got here at 7.22.

They've locked up and buggered off.

Apparently some geezer is on his way to open up, but he's stuck in traffic. I deffo won't be home by 8..

NervousPete · **Posted:** Tue Dec 22, 2020 20:56

I'm going to be another ten minutes I'm afraid... catch you soon!

And argh, that sucks man.

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Dec 22, 2020 21:08

I'll be on in ten... Or so...

Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

Aaaaaaand now they're sending me to another "urgent" call in Manchester. Wazzocks. The store say they have no spare till base unit.

I WAS LOOKING AT THE BLOODY THING ONLY 4 HOURS AGO.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Wed Dec 23, 2020 11:27

It was nice to see you pop on..

Jem · **Posted:** Wed Dec 23, 2020 13:02

Sorry I disappeared early last night guys, was utterly utterly exhausted.

Merry Christmas you lovely lot :luv:

I got home at 10pm.

Also on call from 2pm to 11pm today and then not working until next Tuesday, and back on normal shifts.

Kern · **Posted:** Mon Dec 28, 2020 12:02

Hey everyone,

I'll set up a room for tomorrow night for those wanting a post-Christmas boost.

GazChap · **Posted:** Mon Dec 28, 2020 12:48

I was disappointed not to get 22 out of 11 on the sax round.

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Jan 12, 2021 11:13

Details updated. Same as ever. Will make a change from watching sub-£20 Cameo clips.

I might write a round to distract me from the pain of homeschooling.

Kern · **Posted:** Tue Jan 12, 2021 11:42

Write one that can also help with homeschooling.

Jem · **Posted:** Tue Jan 12, 2021 11:46

Maybe I should use questions set by my children's teachers... GENIUS.

GazChap · **Posted:** Tue Jan 12, 2021 15:09

I've also got a picture round in mind if I get time to put it together.

Do a House Of Games round and get the kids to write the questions (though Nola is a tough act to follow).

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Jan 12, 2021 15:22

I have 3 questions towards a round so fingers crossed!
