You can add Stock Images to your squares by choosing from the extensive stock image library powered by Pixabay. If a participant's card on the Participant View contains the square, then the stock image will be displayed on the square. When the square is called, the image will also display on the Presentation View.

Adding a Stock Image to a Question

To choose a stock image, go to the Experience Dashboard, then the blue Bingo Setup tab, and hover your mouse over the square you'd like to add an image to.

Choosing the Stock Image

Once you click Add Stock Image, a blue pop-up box with a search bar and examples of popular stock images will show up. You can choose from the trending stock images or search for a particular one. For this example, we are searching for a "food" stock image to add to the bingo square.

Viewing the Stock Image on the Presentation View & Participant View

If you have the Display Square's Text or Image setting enabled for your Bingo Game, then the uploaded image will always show as the called square on the Presentation View when it is called. However, if your Bingo Game has the Display Square's Hint Only or Hide Called Squares setting selected, then the image will not display on the Presentation View, only on your participants' Participant Views.

If your participant has the matching square on their Bingo Card on the Participant View of your Bingo Game, your participants will see the stock image as a square on their devices.

Removing a Square Image

If you wish to adjust or change the stock image or no longer use a square image, simply remove it from the square by clicking on the red Remove button with a trash icon displayed on the square upon hovering your mouse over it.
