How to share the games with guests

Six ways to get BabyShowerShow in front of your guests — whether they're on a couch in your living room or on a Zoom call across three time zones.

Start with one screen everyone can see. Choose a sharing method below and rehearse it before guests arrive.

Where will guests watch?

The simple setup: open, share, play

Open the show in your browser, put it on a screen everyone can see, and reveal each answer when the room is ready. Guests guess aloud, on paper, or in your call chat. A separate guest window is optional.

Virtual shower — share on a video call

3 methods
💻
Most common — Zoom

1. Zoom

  1. 1
    Open the game in your browser
    Open the six-question demo or your full paid show on babyshowershow.com. Keep the tab open.
  2. 2
    Start your Zoom meeting
    Host or join the call. Bring guests in before you share so nobody misses the intro.
  3. 3
    Click “Share Screen” and choose the game window
    Choose the browser window showing the game, or a tab if your Zoom version offers it. If you want sound effects, enable sound sharing and test it; sound is optional.
💡 Guests watch the same question and answer aloud or in chat. Check that they can read the clue before starting.
🟢
Google Meet

2. Google Meet

  1. 1
    Start or join the Meet call
    Open meet.google.com and start the session. Share the link with guests.
  2. 2
    Bottom bar → Present now → “A tab”
    Pick “A tab” option so guests only see the game, not your whole desktop. Select the babyshowershow.com tab.
  3. 3
    Go fullscreen on your side
    Use the game fullscreen button if your browser supports it. Ask a guest to confirm the shared clue is readable.
💡 The games work without shared audio. If you use effects, check the audio setting in your sharing dialog and test with a guest.
🟣
Microsoft Teams

3. Microsoft Teams

  1. 1
    Join your Teams meeting
    Desktop Teams works best — the browser version has more limited screen-share options.
  2. 2
    Share button → “Window” (not “Screen”)
    Pick the browser window showing the game. Turn on “Include sound” only if you want effects, and test the result.
  3. 3
    Keep the game tab in focus
    Teams share is window-based — if you click to another tab, guests see that tab instead. Park the game in its own window.
💡 For office showers, Teams is usually mandatory. Schedule the meeting in Outlook for timezone-aware invites.

In-person shower — project on a TV

3 methods
🍎
iPhone / Mac → Apple TV

1. AirPlay

  1. 1
    Open the game on iPhone or Mac
    Open the demo or your paid show. Use fullscreen where your browser supports it.
  2. 2
    Swipe down → Screen Mirroring
    On iPhone, open Control Center and tap Screen Mirroring. On Mac, use Control Center or Displays settings to choose a compatible AirPlay display.
  3. 3
    Pick your Apple TV
    Select your compatible TV or Apple TV, follow any pairing prompt, and check the game is visible.
💡 Check that your TV supports AirPlay. Mirroring shows whatever is on the device screen, including any controls you open.
📺
Android or Chrome → Chromecast / Google TV

2. Chromecast

  1. 1
    Open the game in Chrome on a computer
    Open the demo or your paid show. Your computer and compatible Google Cast device need a connection to the same Wi-Fi network.
  2. 2
    Chrome menu → Cast, save, and share → Cast…
    On the computer, open Chrome's three-dot menu, choose Cast, save, and share, then Cast. Pick your compatible receiver.
  3. 3
    Set source to “Cast tab”
    Cast the game tab and check it on the TV. For the optional guest-window setup, cast only the guest tab instead of the full desktop.
💡 On Android, use Google Home's screen-casting option, then open the show. This mirrors the phone or chosen app; it is different from desktop Chrome tab casting.
🔌
Laptop → any TV with HDMI

3. HDMI cable

  1. 1
    Connect HDMI from laptop to TV
    Use your laptop's HDMI port, or an adapter that supports video output. Check compatibility before the shower.
  2. 2
    Switch TV input to HDMI
    Use the TV remote to cycle inputs until you see your laptop desktop. Usually HDMI 1, 2, or 3.
  3. 3
    Open the game and hit fullscreen
    Choose Duplicate or Mirror in your display settings for the simple one-screen setup. Open the game and use fullscreen if supported.
💡 For optional private host controls, choose Extend instead and move only the separate guest window onto the TV. Mirroring displays the same content on both screens.

Optional: keep host controls on a separate screen

Open the guest window from the show on the same computer and browser. In a video call, share only that guest window or tab. On a TV, use an extended display and move the guest window there, or use supported window/tab casting. Keep the host window on your laptop.

Duplicate or Mirror shows the same content on both displays. Opening a second window does not make controls private when you mirror your entire screen. Check what guests can actually see before the event.

Display help: Windows Duplicate and Extend · Mac mirror and extended displays. Casting help: Chrome on a computer · Android through Google Home.

Fallback — no TV, no video call

Use a laptop or tablet that everyone can read. Phones work for small groups; check the clue size before you start. For a hybrid shower, you can combine a room display with video-call sharing when your equipment supports both. Rehearse the picture and audio together.
