Microsoft Teams reveals some top tips for your online festive party

Games on offer from Jackbox include speech games like Talking Points, drawing games such as Drawful and witty quip game Quiplash.

Most of these games run between 15 to 25 minutes and have relatively straightforward rules, so they’re easy to pick up and play, and support up to eight to 10 players.

If this sounds like your cup of tea, then Microsoft advised the first step is the host of the meeting needs to get Jackbox Games on their PC or Mac.

This can be purchased via Steam, with games typically being bundled together in Party Packs of five games.

Then, once you’ve purchased Jackbox and got it ready to use you’ll have to use the Teams screen sharing option so that others can join in the fun.

You’ll also have to make sure you check the ‘include computer sound’ option.
