Gloww provides everything you need to create and host a live interactive video session, so there’s no need to use any other video conferencing platform.

Yes, just mark a scene (or ‘slide’, as some users call it) in the storyboard and copy it by using keyboard combination Ctrl + C  (Windows) or Cmd+C (Mac).

Currently, Gloww doesn’t support streaming to other platforms, but we’ll be adding this functionality in the future.

Here’s how the scores are calculated:
– A correct answer in the buzzer quiz is worth 1,000 points
– A correct answer in a multiple choice quiz is worth up to 1,000 points, the faster you answer the more points you get. The exact formula is: [ ( 1 – (( {response time} / {question timer} ) / 2 )) × {1,000} ]

For example if the timer for the question is 20 seconds and you answer correctly after 10 seconds, you get:
[ ( 1 – (( 10 / 20 ) / 2 )) × 1,000 ] which makes 750 points.

If someone else answers correctly in 5 seconds, they get [(1 -(( 5/20 )/2)) × 1,000] = 875 points.
