📱 Mobile browsers — Hosting limitations

QuizWitz is optimized for use on desktop and laptop computers. While it’s technically possible to host QuizWitz Live or Conference games on a tablet or smartphone, we do not recommend using Android or iOS devices to run the game.

🛑 Mobile devices are not officially supported for hosting. Please use a desktop or laptop whenever possible.

⚠️ If you must use a mobile device...​

If using a phone or tablet is your only option, follow these steps to minimize the risk of technical issues:

🔋 Disable power-saving features​

  • Make sure energy-saving modes are turned off
  • Increase your device’s auto-sleep timeout
  • Some mobile browsers may refresh the page when the device sleeps, which can end the game unexpectedly

🎞️ Test audio and video fragments​

  • If your quiz includes audio or video, test it in advance
  • Some devices may struggle with large media files or not play them at all
  • Be especially cautious with older devices or default mobile browsers

🚫 Not recommended for live events​

Even with the precautions above, we strongly advise against using mobile devices to host important or high-stakes events.

For the best performance and stability:

  • Use a modern desktop or laptop computer
  • Run your game in Chrome, Firefox, or Edge
  • Avoid using Safari on iOS for anything other than playing

For hosting, a reliable setup is key — mobile devices should be used only as a last resort.
