Remove a player from your game
In the lobby, tap a player or click the ✕ on their card. Remove them, and they can join again with the code, or ban them from that browser.
Removing works on every plan, on a phone or a computer.
Remove them in the lobby
In the lobby, tap a player (on a phone) or click the ✕ on their card (on a computer). Then choose Remove from this game or Ban from this game.
Remove or ban
Remove from this game takes them out of the room, and they can join again with the code. Use it for a stale or duplicate entry, such as a phone that lost its connection and joined again.
Ban from this game takes them out and stops them joining this game again from that browser. Use it for someone you don’t want in the game.
While players write questions or answer them
If players are writing questions on their phones, tap the ✕ on their name and choose the same way. During a question, a red Reported content button appears when someone reports a name or a question. Open it and tap Remove player: that one is always a ban.
What happens to them
Their phone shows Removed with a Back to Home button. After a removal, it also says they can join again with the code. Either way, their score, answers and any questions they wrote are deleted, so they leave the leaderboard and the results. If a banned player tries to join again from the same browser, they see You can’t rejoin this game.
Can I remove someone on the leaderboard or after the game?
No. Once the answer is shown or the game has ended, players can’t be removed.
Does the player get a warning first?
No. They’re removed as soon as you choose Remove or Ban.
