How do I set up a live session for my players using the Second Screen feature?

TT-RPG's Second Screen feature turns your players' devices into dynamic windows into your game world, providing real-time map synchronization and an immersive experience. Say goodbye to clunky screen sharing and hello to active player engagement.

To initiate a live session, open the map you wish to use and click the 'Go Live' button. TT-RPG will generate a unique, shareable URL. Simply provide this URL to your players, and they can open it on their phones, tablets, or secondary monitors. No downloads or accounts are required for them to join.

Once connected, your players will experience a dynamic view of the game world. They'll see the map update in real-time as you move tokens (which can be assigned to them!), reveal Fog of War with adjustable brightness, or activate visual effects. Beyond just the map, the live session also synchronizes combat initiative tracking, allows you to highlight specific areas, zoom all players to a particular region, and even control background music and ambient noise with smooth crossfades. For dramatic moments, use the Spotlight feature to push NPC portraits or dialogs directly to their screens. Furthermore, players can engage with the map through the unique Live Search Mode, using their phones to physically search for hidden points with haptic feedback. If you're using Connected Maps, players will seamlessly transition between them as you explore your 'One Big Map' workspace.

As the GM, you retain full control over the map, tokens, and game elements, while players enjoy a clean, interactive view tailored to their perspective. This seamless synchronization ensures everyone is on the same page, literally, and allows you to focus on storytelling rather than technical hurdles.
