  2. Choose from the available trivia game templates in the list.
Streaming Studio

3. The template will appear blank if you select 'Trivia game with the host'. The right side will display the game section, while the left will have a spot for the host. Proceed by clicking on 'Trivia Game' layer on the right sidebar to edit your game.

Step 3

4. Now, it's time to set your questions. The questions library features 24 varied topics ranging from general to specific areas. You can determine the level of difficulty from easy to hard. Each game can have up to 50 questions. You can latch onto a new set of random questions by clicking 'Generate New Questions' or you may manually write your questions and answers.

Step 4

5. After saving your questions, adjust the game's visual settings. This includes Titles, subtitles, logos, colors, timing per round, and other settings. You may have different settings for every game screen.

Step 5

6. To preview every screen's visual setting, click on the trivia game element's top right corner within the editor. You'll find the 'Start Screen', 'Round Screen', 'Round Results', and 'Game Result'.

Step 6

7. Next, connect your camera by clicking the black square and choosing Video and Audio outputs.

Step 7

8. Once all settings are finalized, choose an account for your live stream and start streaming by clicking on 'Go Live'. Alternatively, you can schedule an automatic quiz for later even without a connected camera; the quiz will start and end autonomously.

9. Your quiz will now be live on your selected platform, which can be Facebook, YouTube, or Twitch (For YouTube and Twitch, connect your respective channel in step 8 instead of Facebook). During the quiz, LiveReacting calculates all the participants' responses, considering only the first response from each participant to prevent cheating. There is no participant limit for the quiz.

Elsa's response was marked correct and highlighted in green. With no restrictions on the number of participants, LiveReacting evaluates all responses. To discourage dishonest play, though, only the first response submitted by each user is considered.
