Four choices before pressing play

03
Choose a format
Offer one player, paired, cooperative, or observer route. calendar pressure and mixed spaces. Use a short timer and let people change roles without explanation.

Questions
Before you start
How should I start five minute office webcam games?
Start with one short, voluntary round. timer, opt-in roles, and personal-score mode. Explain the cue, check the camera view, and let people choose player, caller, coach, scorekeeper, observer, or no-camera participation.
What should I prepare for a protected microbreak?
For a protected microbreak, mark the camera footprint, check light and framing, and keep a lower-movement or quieter alternative nearby. The goal is a workable activity, not a promised health or performance result.
Can someone participate without using a camera?
Yes. Keep camera use optional and offer a meaningful observer, caller, coach, scorekeeper, or discussion role. People can switch roles or stop whenever the room, privacy preference, or energy level changes.
