FAQ

Bingo Caller Online FAQ covers bag presets, speech, storage, and what this tool does not adjudicate.

Calling and board behavior

What happens when I press Call next?

The next ball from the shuffled deck appears as the current call, the board marks it, and Call order updates. Repeat speaks the current call again without advancing.

How do Pause and Resume work?

Pause blocks Call next and cancels in-flight speech. Resume restores calling. Auto-call on delay also stops while paused.

What is Host fullscreen?

Host fullscreen enlarges the hall view for projectors. Exit host mode returns to the normal layout with Options available.

What does Draw practice ball do?

It draws one random label for the active bag size without changing your main session deck or call history.

Storage, speech, and limits

Where is game state stored?

Game and host settings persist in localStorage on this device under the bingo tool namespace—not on a server roster.

When should I use Speak calls?

Enable Speak calls in Options when the room listens to one device. Pick a Voice on desktop; if voices fail to load, use Retry voices or browser default.

How do I print the session?

Open Call history and use Print list, or Print call list from Options. The sheet lists calls in draw order with bag metadata.

Is this regulated Bingo?

No. It is a free browser caller for community, classroom, and family use—not ticket sales, card generation, or licensed hall operations.

Publisher content and site quality

Why separate classroom and online hosting guides?

Each guide walks through pacing, privacy on shared devices, and troubleshooting for that venue instead of one vague bingo article.

Where may advertising run?

Only on the homepage below the caller board after AdSense site approval; not on terms, privacy, or how-to routes.
