Put your game on a TV

Start a game right from the TV

1. On the TV, open the Mission Masters app (Samsung or Google TV) or go to mmplay.io in the browser, then choose Host a game.
2. Scan the sign-in code with your phone camera and sign in. That is it. The TV is connected to your account.
3. Start any game on your phone, in the app or on this site. The board opens on your TV by itself and the game begins. Your phone stays your remote.
4. Want to sign in as someone else, or hand the TV to a friend? On mmplay.io/tv in a browser, choose Log out. The page shows a new sign-in code right away. Scan it, pick the account you want, and the TV is yours again. The Samsung and Google TV apps will get the same Log out control in their next store update. Closed the app or signed out on your phone? Sign back in. The Shows on your TV bar on your games pages tells you which TV is on, and one tap puts a running game back on it.

Log out on the TV only clears that screen. Your account, your games, and your phone stay as they are. A TV that has been showing for a day or more asks before a new game is sent to it, so an old board in another room is never surprised. Discovery Missions start at the starting point; from your living room the TV shows the scoreboard. Trivia Board opens from mmplay.io as usual. The TV never sees your password, and it never takes payment. Not your TV? Disconnect it under Connected TVs in your account.

Your TV has a web browser

1. On the TV, open Apps and look for the browser. It is often called Internet, Browser, or Web Browser.
2. Not in your apps? On many TVs, including Samsung, you must add the browser as an app before you can use it. Open the TV app store (Samsung: Apps), search for Internet, and install it.
3. Go to mmplay.io. Bookmark it or add it to your favorites for next time.
4. A QR code appears. In the Mission Masters app, open your game and tap Scan TV code, then point your phone at the TV.
5. If you would rather type, choose "Or enter a game code" on the TV and type the code from the app.

Samsung, LG, Sony (Google TV), and Hisense TVs usually offer a browser, though Samsung often needs it added from the app store first. Vizio TVs and many Roku and Apple TV models have none, so use one of the choices below.

Cast a Chrome tab (Chromecast or Google TV)

1. Fastest: on the big-screen step, under My smart TV, look for a Cast to TV button. It shows in Chrome on a laptop or Android phone when Chrome can see a Cast device on your Wi-Fi. Tap it, pick your TV, and the board opens there by itself. (From the app, Cast to TV opens this website in Chrome first.)
2. No Cast to TV button? Cast a tab instead. On a laptop, open Chrome and go to mmplay.io, then connect the screen with Scan TV code or a typed code.
3. In Chrome, open the three-dot menu and choose Cast, or Save and share, then Cast.
4. Pick your Chromecast or Google TV. Choose Cast tab.
5. Move the tab to full screen so the board fills the TV.

Keep the laptop open and on the same Wi-Fi as the TV while you play. iPhones and iPads cannot cast from a web page, so use AirPlay below instead.

AirPlay from a Mac, iPhone, or iPad (Apple TV and AirPlay TVs)

1. Open mmplay.io in Safari on the Mac, iPhone, or iPad and connect the screen.
2. Mac: click Control Center in the menu bar, choose Screen Mirroring, then pick your TV.
3. iPhone or iPad: open Control Center, tap Screen Mirroring, then pick your TV.
4. Turn the device sideways (landscape) so the board fits the TV.

Mirroring shows everything on that device, so use a device you are not playing on.

Vizio (Chromecast and AirPlay built in)

1. Vizio TVs have no web browser, but most have Chromecast and AirPlay built in, so you send the board from a laptop or phone. Keep that device on the same Wi-Fi as the TV.
2. Laptop or Android phone: in Chrome, on the big-screen step under My smart TV, tap Cast to TV. Vizio TVs with Chromecast built in show up in that list, so pick yours and the board opens on the TV by itself.
3. No Cast to TV button? On a laptop, open mmplay.io in Chrome and connect the screen. Open the three-dot menu, choose Cast, pick your Vizio, and choose Cast tab.
4. Mac, iPhone, or iPad: open mmplay.io in Safari and connect the screen. Open Control Center, choose Screen Mirroring, and pick your Vizio. Turn an iPhone or iPad sideways so the board fits the TV.

Vizio not in the list? Check that both devices are on the same Wi-Fi and that AirPlay is turned on in the TV settings. Mirroring shows everything on that device, so use one you are not playing on.

Fire TV (Silk browser)

1. On the Fire TV, search for Silk Browser in the app store and open it. It is free.
2. Go to mmplay.io and connect the screen with Scan TV code or a typed code.
3. Use the remote to select Full screen on the page.

Roku (screen mirroring)

1. Roku has no browser, so mirror a phone or laptop instead. On the Roku go to Settings, System, Screen mirroring, and allow it.
2. Windows laptop: press the Windows key and K, then pick the Roku. Android phone: open Quick Settings and choose Smart View or Cast.
3. On the mirrored device, open mmplay.io and connect the screen.

iPhones and Macs cannot mirror to most Rokus without an extra app. Use a laptop, an Android phone, or an HDMI cable.

Plug in a laptop with an HDMI cable

1. Connect the laptop to the TV with an HDMI cable and switch the TV to that input.
2. On the laptop, open mmplay.io in any browser and connect the screen.
3. Set the display to Duplicate or Mirror if the board does not show on the TV, then choose Full screen on the page.

The most reliable choice for a busy room. No Wi-Fi needed between the laptop and the TV.
