BridgeClubLive provides an Audio and/or Video option in selected rooms.
The basic operation is triggered by pressing a red loudspeaker Icon
as shown in the Chat Area when applicable. Pressing this icon outside approved areas will give an error message. You MUST be logged in as a member as your ALIAS will be used to attach to your Audio/Video signal.
It is also available for all registered F2F Clubs on BCL. The same icon is located on your Club Room where all your members are listed.
When you click the red Icon, it will open a new Window or Tab that gives you complete freedom of being able to setup your sound and video connection whilst playing bridge, yet keep it totally separate from your Bridge Playing Screen. and thus avoiding clutter.
