Your audience scans it with their phone and lands on the experience's web page, where they can take part. One code works for the whole room. ## The QR code is generated for you When you start an audience-enabled experience, the visual builds its QR code and displays it on the game window — usually next to the title and a countdown. You don't create it, paste it, or point it anywhere; the visual handles all of that. Game window showing the experience title, a countdown timer, and a join QR code Because the code is built into the running experience, there's nothing to set up beforehand. Start the experience and the QR code is ready to scan. ## How the audience joins Each person points their phone camera at the QR code on the game window. Most phones recognize it automatically and offer to open the link. Tapping the link opens the experience's audience page in the phone's browser — no app to download. Depending on the experience, the audience either enters a few quick details or jumps straight in. See the variations below. Once they're in, the audience can do whatever the visual offers — react, vote, or contribute — and it shows up live on stage. ## Onboarding varies by experience How much an audience member does before they're "in" depends on the visual.
