Featured Changes

Screen Sharing

We have added browser-based screen sharing support to the web app. Now you can share your screen with remote players by clicking on the Toggle Screenshare button at the top of the screen. Share companion apps for your games or your favorite interactive map making software!

Note that Vorpal Board utilizes the supported screen sharing options built into your browser. Depending on the browser’s capabilities you can share your whole desktop(s), individual apps you have running, or even a single tab inside your browser.

Sharing screen audio is also supported which is a fun way to add thematic music or sound effects to game night. This is recommended for browsers that support sharing individual tab audio (currently Chrome & Edge Chromium).

Additional Changes

  • Auto zoom no longer triggers while session is refreshing
  • Fixed an issue where the hover zoom toggle was not respected when turned off
  • Fixed an issue where deck related actions (draw, return to deck, etc.) would not function until the deck was moved

Please visit the Help page if you have any issues or questions with the latest release and have fun getting game night back.
