SQ Pro v5
SQPRO V5 official release
It’s time to start using SQPRO V5 folks but first there are a few things to know.
Host Tutorials
Firstly and most importantly, as well as the normal SQPRO help documents here, there is also a wealth of brand new SQPRO V5 YouTube video tutorials here. NOTE: This YouTube playlist will be getting updated with new videos all the time.
Multi Tap game format.
One of the main advantages of moving over to V5 is that there is now a brand new 10-question round of questions bundled with activations, but this won’t work with SQPRO V4. Watch the how to host Multi Tap tutorial here.
Cross Compatibility
The good news is that V4 and V5 will install on your computer as separate programs, so you can use both versions for the foreseeable future whilst you familiarise yourself with the new look and feel of V5. However there are these important things to be aware of when having both versions installed.
- You won’t be able to switch between V4 and V5 mid-quiz. However a single activation can be booked to work on both versions giving you the option to choose between V4 and V5 prior to the commencement of your event. See how to do this here.
- Many buttons and controls have changed their position on the host screen in V5, find out more here.
- Double clicking on quiz files to open them may open the wrong version of the software and cause issues, find out how to rectify this here.
Important other things to note.
- The SpeedQuizzing Preferences will all set to their default values when first installing V5, so you may want to check the preferences for Buzzer ID Sounds, Fast Tracking (This didn’t need enabling in V4 but it does in V5), and Waiting Room (Formerly known as New Connections)
- If you feel that some of your favourite features are missing in V5, please check that Simple Mode is disabled in the SpeedQuizzing Preferences.
