Get ready for the session
At this point you should have created a Bingo Project. You can also host a session with the daily Free Virtual Session. When you are ready to host your session with the Interactive Number Generator, go in the row of your project and click “Start“. Enter an event name and a password, select the patterns for this session and activate the generator.
Generate the Numbers and Validate the Results
Once the virtual number generator is activated, the background image will be replaced by the Flashboard in the Webex meeting. Wait for all attendees to join your session and start generating numbers. Pause when a completed pattern appears in the results list. Restart as many sessions as you want and reset the Flashboard and the virtual cards. End the activity whenever you are ready.
