Multiple device per Team allows to play Loquiz games as a team so that at the same time team members keep the distance. Team is considered group of players that can have several devices connected to the team when Multiple devices per team is activated.
Very good internet connection is needed for the feature to work properly. Multiple Devices per Team does not work offline.
If this is set then the game creator can limit Max number of teams and also Max players per team. Players who log into the game will have a chance to create a team or join a team created by somebody else.
From the moment when the team is created there is 5 minute time interval during which game is waiting for participants to join the team. When the Max player limit per team is reached or after 5 minutes if the limit is not reached the game will start.
When any member of the team activates a task, all team members will see the same task on the screen. Every team member can answer, but only the first answer is taken into account.

Joining and leaving teams
Players can join teams that have less members than Max player limit. If the limit is full then the team can not accept new players. However only active devices are monitored. So if the player stops playing or the battery runs out and the device shuts down then the place in a team will be vacant.
Players can also join teams during the game (when others have already started) if there is free places in the team (for example when somebody has stopped playing). In this case the player joining the team will continue from where the teams progress is.
Things to keep in mind
There is no slave and master device. Any device can activate a task to all team members. For example, if team members are in different locations, they can activate a task for all team members to see.
A good internet connection is needed to use the remote team mode successfully. When playing alone then even if the internet connection breaks the game continues usually without the player noticing it. However, in remote teams mode the tasks are pushed to all team members constantly so the internet connection must be present at all times.
Costs associated
Only one device per team is considered a player. Every additional device connected to the team is not counted for credits.
