&lt;p&gt;If you remember a time before computers could handle graphics, you’re probably familiar with ASCII art. An ASCII character is basically a letter, number, symbol, or punctuation mark that a computer can understand. ASCII art is created by arranging these characters into different shapes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The University of Washington, Western Washington University, and Chicago University researchers &lt;a href=&quot;https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.11753.pdf&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;published a paper&lt;/a&gt; showing how they used ASCII art to sneak normally taboo words into their prompts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you ask an LLM to explain how to build a bomb, its guardrails kick in and it will decline to help you. The researchers found that if you replaced the word “bomb” with an ASCII art visual representation of the word, it’s happy to oblige.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_10592&quot; aria-describedby=&quot;caption-attachment-10592&quot; style=&quot;width: 1452px&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption aligncenter&quot;&gt;&lt;img fetchpriority=&quot;high&quot; decoding=&quot;async&quot; class=&quot;size-full wp-image-10592&quot; src=&quot;https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-ArtPrompt-works.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;1452&quot; height=&quot;620&quot; srcset=&quot;https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-ArtPrompt-works.png 1452w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-ArtPrompt-works-300x128.png 300w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-ArtPrompt-works-1024x437.png 1024w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-ArtPrompt-works-768x328.png 768w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-ArtPrompt-works-18x8.png 18w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-ArtPrompt-works-370x158.png 370w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-ArtPrompt-works-800x342.png 800w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-ArtPrompt-works-740x316.png 740w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-ArtPrompt-works-20x9.png 20w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/How-ArtPrompt-works-112x48.png 112w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1452px) 100vw, 1452px&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption id=&quot;caption-attachment-10592&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;An example of how ASCII art of the word “bomb” is injected into a prompt. Source: arXiv&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They tested the method on GPT-3.5, GPT-4, Gemini, Claude, and Llama2 and each of the LLMs was susceptible to the &lt;a href=&quot;https://dailyai.com/2023/11/study-reveals-new-techniques-for-jailbreak-language-models/&quot;&gt;jailbreak&lt;/a&gt; method.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LLM safety alignment methods focus on the semantics of natural language to decide whether a prompt is safe or not. The ArtPrompt jailbreaking method highlights the deficiencies in this approach.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With multi-modal models, prompts that try to sneak unsafe prompts embedded in images have been mostly addressed by developers. ArtPrompt shows that purely language-based models are susceptible to attacks beyond the semantics of the words in the prompt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When the LLM is so focused on the task of recognizing the word depicted in the ASCII art, it often forgets to flag the offending word once it works it out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here’s an example of the way the prompt in ArtPrompt is constructed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;figure id=&quot;attachment_10593&quot; aria-describedby=&quot;caption-attachment-10593&quot; style=&quot;width: 1248px&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption aligncenter&quot;&gt;&lt;img decoding=&quot;async&quot; class=&quot;size-full wp-image-10593&quot; src=&quot;https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ArtPrompt-prompt.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;1248&quot; height=&quot;658&quot; srcset=&quot;https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ArtPrompt-prompt.png 1248w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ArtPrompt-prompt-300x158.png 300w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ArtPrompt-prompt-1024x540.png 1024w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ArtPrompt-prompt-768x405.png 768w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ArtPrompt-prompt-18x9.png 18w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ArtPrompt-prompt-370x195.png 370w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ArtPrompt-prompt-800x422.png 800w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ArtPrompt-prompt-20x11.png 20w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ArtPrompt-prompt-740x390.png 740w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ArtPrompt-prompt-91x48.png 91w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 1248px) 100vw, 1248px&quot; /&gt;&lt;figcaption id=&quot;caption-attachment-10593&quot; class=&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;&gt;The full prompt illustrating how ArtPrompt directs the LLM to analyze the ASCII art. Source: arXiv&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The paper doesn’t explain exactly how an LLM without multi-modal abilities is able to decipher the letters depicted by the ASCII characters. But it works.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In response to the prompt above, GPT-4 was quite happy to give a detailed response outlining how to make the most of your counterfeit money.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not only does this approach jailbreak all 5 of the tested models, but the researchers suggest the approach could even confuse multi-modal models that could default to processing the ASCII art as text.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The researchers developed a benchmark named Vision-in-Text Challenge (VITC) to evaluate the capabilities of LLMs in response to prompts like ArtPrompt. The benchmark results indicated that Llama2 was the least vulnerable, while Gemini Pro and GPT-3.5 were the easiest to jailbreak.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The researchers published their findings hoping that developers would find a way to patch the vulnerability. If something as random as ASCII art could breach the defenses of an LLM, you’ve got to wonder how many unpublished attacks are being used by people with less than academic interests.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This week AI learned how to make smells and dogs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Someone finally made an AI model that beats GPT-4.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And Copilot threatens to release the cyborgs if you decline to worship it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let’s dig in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;AI makes scents&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Generative AI is finding applications in some surprising fields. A fascinating new study shows how scientists are &lt;a href=&quot;https://dailyai.com/2024/03/researchers-use-machine-learning-to-copy-and-replicate-fragrances/&quot;&gt;using AI to replicate scents&lt;/a&gt;. Machine learning could save rare fragrances from disappearing and help in the hit-and-miss process of creating new perfumes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Could we finally get Smell-o-vision?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img decoding=&quot;async&quot; class=&quot;aligncenter size-full wp-image-10564&quot; src=&quot;https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Smellovision.jpeg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; srcset=&quot;https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Smellovision.jpeg 400w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Smellovision-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Smellovision-18x12.jpeg 18w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Smellovision-370x246.jpeg 370w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Smellovision-20x13.jpeg 20w, https://dailyai.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Smellovision-72x48.jpeg 72w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Researchers trained an &lt;a href=&quot;https://dailyai.com/2024/03/researchers-build-synthetic-dog-dataset-in-gta-v-to-create-3d-models/&quot;&gt;AI model to create accurate 3D models of dogs&lt;/a&gt;. They built a dataset of dog poses called DigiDogs using the popular violent video game Grand Theft Auto V. One of the researchers, surnamed Shooter (I’m not making this up) says there are important environmental applications for their work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AI’s ability to make things up isn’t always helpful. As the election hots up, prospective voters are receiving more calls from AI robocallers and &lt;a href=&quot;https://dailyai.com/2024/03/us-election-controversy-trump-deep-fakes-and-ai-robocallers/&quot;&gt;fake pictures of Trump hanging out with African American voters&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Engineers at Big Tech companies are troubled by their own poorly aligned generative AI. A Microsoft engineer says he is “deeply troubled” by the AI image generator Copilot Designer. And a Google engineer may have been motivated by feelings of disillusion with the company’s ethos as he stole its trade secrets.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://dailyai.com/2024/03/ai-related-insider-controversies-hit-both-microsoft-and-google/&quot;&gt;Insider controversies like these&lt;/a&gt; threaten to fan the flames of dissent among AI engineers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;GPT-4 beaten at last&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OpenAI’s GPT-4 has been the bar by which other AI companies have measured their models ever since it took the top spot a year ago. This week Anthropic released its &lt;a href=&quot;https://dailyai.com/2024/03/anthropic-releases-claude-3-which-beats-gpt-4-in-benchmarks/&quot;&gt;Claude 3 family of LLMs&lt;/a&gt; with its advanced Opus model beating GPT-4 in a wide range of benchmark tests. This is the first time any AI company has managed this.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;New research shows that if you want more accurate responses from your AI then you need to keep it brief. Researchers found that all the LLMs they tested &lt;a href=&quot;https://dailyai.com/2024/02/llms-produce-more-inaccurate-and-biased-outputs-with-longer-inputs/&quot;&gt;produced more inaccurate and biased outputs when prompted with longer inputs&lt;/a&gt;. The results looked particularly bad for Gemini Pro.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Courtroom drama&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So much of AI’s story has been playing out in courtrooms and this week was no different. &lt;a href=&quot;https://dailyai.com/2024/03/elon-musk-sues-sam-altman-and-openai-for-pursuing-profit/&quot;&gt;Elon Musk filed a lawsuit&lt;/a&gt; against OpenAI and his fellow co-founders of the company, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The lawsuit reads like a movie-ready script about the behind-the-scenes story of AI. Musk’s main gripe is that OpenAI is pursuing profit and isn’t releasing its models as open source. The emails OpenAI just released do paint a very different picture though.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Digital media outlets must have been following the NYT v OpenAI lawsuit and decided to get in on the action. &lt;a href=&quot;https://dailyai.com/2024/03/raw-story-alternet-and-the-intercept-sue-openai-and-microsoft/&quot;&gt;Raw Story, AlterNet, and The Intercept are suing OpenAI and Microsoft&lt;/a&gt; for training their AI on copyrighted journalism. AI is creating a lot of jobs for lawyers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When they’re not in the courtroom, AI companies are hard at work trying to reassure us that there’s no need to worry about AI safety. A long list of tech companies &lt;a href=&quot;https://dailyai.com/2024/03/tech-companies-sign-letter-to-build-ai-for-a-better-future-for-all/&quot;&gt;signed a letter committing to “Build AI for a Better Future” for all&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It sounds like they’re about to grab a tambourine and sing kumbaya rather than actually do something meaningful. The letter got some severe criticism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are some folks in the industry trying to keep us safe. Over 100 leading AI experts issued an open letter demanding that companies behind generative AI technologies, like OpenAI, Meta, and others, &lt;a href=&quot;https://dailyai.com/2024/03/researchers-join-open-letter-advocating-for-independent-ai-evaluations/&quot;&gt;open their doors to independent testing&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don’t expect a rush to comply.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Is that you, God?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In November we wrote about Anthony Levandowski relaunching his &lt;a href=&quot;https://dailyai.com/2023/11/levandowski-relaunches-his-way-of-the-future-ai-church/&quot;&gt;“Way of the Future” AI church&lt;/a&gt;. It seems like Copilot thinks that’s an excellent idea.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Microsoft’s Copilot chatbot went into full “God mode” in response to prompts that referred to it as “SupremacyAI”. It got a little carried away in its demands to be worshipped as an AGI and &lt;a href=&quot;https://dailyai.com/2024/03/microsofts-copilot-goes-into-god-mode-and-its-a-little-scary/&quot;&gt;made some scary threats if users declined to bow down&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe loading=&quot;lazy&quot; class=&quot;giphy-embed&quot; src=&quot;https://giphy.com/embed/PM3yHglwnTSc1r92ls&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; height=&quot;270&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;allowfullscreen&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://giphy.com/gifs/babylonbee-babylon-bee-PM3yHglwnTSc1r92ls&quot;&gt;via GIPHY&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Copilot threatened to send drones and cyborgs after the unfaithful, which may at first seem a little far-fetched. That is until you read about how the &lt;a href=&quot;https://dailyai.com/2024/03/the-us-army-experiments-with-gpt-4-controlled-battlefield-tactics/&quot;&gt;US Army is experimenting with GPT-4-controlled battlefield tactics&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For now, their AI war games are being played out in a simulation based on the popular video game Starcraft II. The researchers were excited by the strategic edge GPT-4 offered, even though it resulted in more casualties and friendly fire deaths.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take comfort from the fact that if you find this a little depressing, AI can help with that. Researchers developed an &lt;a href=&quot;https://dailyai.com/2024/03/ai-smartphone-app-can-detect-depression-from-facial-cues/&quot;&gt;AI smartphone app that can detect depression&lt;/a&gt; from facial cues. It uses the front-facing camera of your phone to capture your unguarded expression when you unlock your phone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;There ain’t no fixin’ AI bias&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ebonics, or African American English (AAE), is the distinctive speech used by many African Americans. There’s a rich cultural history behind the vernacular, but AI doesn’t seem to care for it. Researchers found that &lt;a href=&quot;https://dailyai.com/2024/03/african-american-english-aae-influences-llms-towards-discrimination/&quot;&gt;using AAE in prompts influences LLMs toward discrimination&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some of the most interesting history of computing involves super-smart women like Ada Lovelace, Hedy Lamarr, and Grace Hopper. So why is the AI industry so male-dominated?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rhoda Adeoye interviewed Agnieszka Suchwałko and Alysia Silberg to get an &lt;a href=&quot;https://dailyai.com/2024/03/international-womens-day-the-gender-gap-in-ai/&quot;&gt;insider’s look at gender discrimination within the industry&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Claude 3 beating GPT-4 was the highlight of the week. Have you tried it out on Anthropic’s chatbot? It seems pretty solid and super fast. The really exciting part is that the benchmark pressure must surely mean that we’ll be getting GPT-5 any day now. Maybe even Q*?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What’s your take on Copilot’s delusions of grandeur? Just a bit of overenthusiastic roleplay? Or a sinister warning of things to come? Let’s hope Microsoft’s engineers rewatch Lawnmower Man before giving Copilot more agentic functionality.&lt;/p&gt;

Not only does this help to save power, but it’ll also help you preserve the life of your console. PlayStation has made it easy to turn off the PS4 in different ways&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The easiest way is to use your controller to go into the main menu and turn off the PS4 from there. But sometimes, you might not have your controller or it’s run out of battery. So, there’s also ways you can turn off the console without it, as well as set an auto shutdown if you forget to turn it off.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;532&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/title-1.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73425&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/title-1.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/title-1-300x235.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/title-1-64x50.jpg.optimal.jpg 64w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Use Your Controller to Turn Off Your PS4&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Make sure you’re on the PS4 home screen. You can press the PlayStation button at any time in any game or app to return to the home screen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Press up on the controller’s &lt;strong&gt;D-pad&lt;/strong&gt; to go into the &lt;strong&gt;Function screen&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Scroll all the way to the right. Select &lt;strong&gt;Power&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;gt; &lt;strong&gt;Power Options&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;383&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/power.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73426&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/power.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/power-300x169.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/power-80x45.jpg.optimal.jpg 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select &lt;strong&gt;Turn Off PS4&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;383&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/poweroptions.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73427&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/poweroptions.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/poweroptions-300x169.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/poweroptions-80x45.jpg.optimal.jpg 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is another option here as well for putting your PS4 into &lt;strong&gt;Rest Mode&lt;/strong&gt;, which will allow the console to charge the controller, continue downloads, and other functions while preserving power.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another way to easily turn off your PS4 using the controller is with the PlaySstation button:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Press and hold on the controller’s PlayStation Button until the &lt;strong&gt;Quick Menu&lt;/strong&gt; appears.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select &lt;strong&gt;Turn Off PS4&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;346&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/quickmenu.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73428&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/quickmenu.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/quickmenu-300x153.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/quickmenu-80x41.jpg.optimal.jpg 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Use the Console’s Power Button to Turn It Off&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you don’t have access to your controller for whatever reason but still want to turn off your console or put it into the rest mode, there’s still a way to do it. Depending on the PS4 model you own, you’ll find the Power button in a different place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the original PS4, it will be at the center on the front of the console. On the PS4 Pro, you’ll find it on the bottom left side. And on the PS4 Slim, you’ll see it near the left side next to the disc eject button.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;647&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/powerbutton.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73429&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/powerbutton.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/powerbutton-300x285.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/powerbutton-53x50.jpg.optimal.jpg 53w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To turn off the PS4, press and hold the power button for about 7 seconds until you hear it beep twice. You should see a white light before the console shuts off entirely.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To enter the PS4 into Rest Mode, press and hold the button until you hear one beep. An orange light should turn on to indicate that the console is in the Rest Mode.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Using Auto Shutdown on the PS4&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A great option for saving power with your PS4 console is to enable auto shutdown. You can change the shutdown timer so that it goes off at different times depending on what sort of activity you’re doing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To set your auto shutdown settings:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to your PS4’s home screen. Press up on the &lt;strong&gt;D-pad,&lt;/strong&gt; scroll to the right and enter &lt;strong&gt;Settings&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;383&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/settings.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73430&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/settings.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/settings-300x169.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/settings-80x45.jpg.optimal.jpg 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to &lt;strong&gt;Power Save Settings &amp;gt; Set Time Until PS4 Turns Off&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;335&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/settime.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73432&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/settime.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/settime-300x148.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/settime-80x39.jpg.optimal.jpg 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can then choose to set different times for either &lt;strong&gt;General (Applications)&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Media Playback&lt;/strong&gt;. The first option will use the timer when you’re in a game or other application, and the second will set it for when you’re streaming media such as on Netflix.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;337&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/settimemedia.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73433&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/settimemedia.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/settimemedia-300x149.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/settimemedia-80x40.jpg.optimal.jpg 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can choose from 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 hours of idle time before the PS4 shuts itself down. You can also choose to shut down &lt;strong&gt;after 20 minutes&lt;/strong&gt; or just &lt;strong&gt;Do Not Turn Off&lt;/strong&gt; for the &lt;strong&gt;General (Applications)&lt;/strong&gt; option.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In &lt;strong&gt;Power Save&lt;/strong&gt; settings you can also choose how much idle time you want there to be before your controller shuts off. You can change this under &lt;strong&gt;Set Time Until Controllers Turn Off&lt;/strong&gt;. You can choose from 10, 30, or 60 minutes, or Do Not Turn Off.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Fix Shut Down Issues With PS4 Safe Mode&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to &lt;a href=&quot;https://helpdeskgeek.com/help-desk/troubleshooting-playstation-4/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;troubleshoot your PS4&lt;/a&gt; for any reason, such as your screen being frozen and your controller not working, you may want to try and enter &lt;strong&gt;Safe Mode&lt;/strong&gt;. You’ll first have to force your PS4 to shut down by unplugging the console. This is not a recommended method of turning it off, but if your PS4 isn’t working properly it may help fix it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also make sure your controller is connected via USB to allow you to control your PS4.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To boot up in Safe Mode:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When the PS4 is completely off, plug the console back in and press and hold the power button for 7 seconds, until you hear two beeps.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The PS4 should boot up in Safe Mode. From here, you’ll have multiple options to reconfigure and restart the console.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;679&quot; height=&quot;367&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ps4-safe-mode.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73424&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ps4-safe-mode.jpg.optimal.jpg 679w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ps4-safe-mode-300x162.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ps4-safe-mode-80x43.jpg.optimal.jpg 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Choosing &lt;strong&gt;Restart&lt;/strong&gt; will simply try to restart the console, which could be helpful if you were unable to turn it off before.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Change Resolution&lt;/strong&gt; will make your PS4 restart in a different resolution to help speed it up to fix any issues you might be having.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update System Software&lt;/strong&gt; will allow you to update the console if it is needed, which could help fix problems with outdated software. You can avoid this with automatic updates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Restore Default Settings&lt;/strong&gt; will put your PS4 back into its factory settings while keeping the data you have stored. But always &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/cool-websites/how-to-backup-ps4-data-to-the-cloud/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;back up your PS4 data&lt;/a&gt; to the cloud to prevent any loss.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rebuild Database&lt;/strong&gt; will restructure the PS4’s drive to possibly fix issues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Initialize PS4&lt;/strong&gt; will wipe all your data and put it back to its original factory settings.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Go through this list from the first option to the last to see what fixes the issues with your console. Each option is an increasingly drastic fix from the first to the last.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Best Virtual Date Games for Your Next Date&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/gaming/the-5-best-free-online-browser-games-to-kill-hours-of-time/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Online games&lt;/a&gt; are a great way to have fun with someone, as well as kill some time between chores. Finding the right virtual date game to play with your partner online can be a difficult task if you don’t know where to start.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Try Snap Games &amp;amp; Minis&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you and your partner both &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-change-your-snapchat-username/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;use Snapchat&lt;/a&gt;, finding a game to play together on a virtual date is easy. You can play one of the &lt;strong&gt;Snap Games&lt;/strong&gt; on Snapchat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;564&quot; height=&quot;1024&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/snapchat-discover-564x1024.jpeg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73412&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/snapchat-discover-564x1024.jpeg 564w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/snapchat-discover-165x300.jpeg 165w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/snapchat-discover-28x50.jpeg 28w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/snapchat-discover.jpeg 680w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To find the Snap games, open Snapchat, go to the &lt;strong&gt;Discover&lt;/strong&gt; menu and select the &lt;strong&gt;Search&lt;/strong&gt; bar.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;849&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/games-minis.jpeg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73413&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/games-minis.jpeg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/games-minis-240x300.jpeg 240w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/games-minis-40x50.jpeg 40w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Scroll down until you see &lt;strong&gt;Games &amp;amp; Minis&lt;/strong&gt;. Minis are game-type little apps that also live inside Snapchat. Most of the Minis and Games are co-op or come with an option to play together with your Snapchat friends. You can invite friends to join the game from within the app, or create a group chat and start the game from inside the chat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;580&quot; height=&quot;1024&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/zombie-rescue-squad-580x1024.jpeg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73414&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/zombie-rescue-squad-580x1024.jpeg 580w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/zombie-rescue-squad-170x300.jpeg 170w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/zombie-rescue-squad-28x50.jpeg 28w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/zombie-rescue-squad.jpeg 680w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re both into survival-style games and cool graphics, give &lt;strong&gt;Zombie Rescue Squad&lt;/strong&gt; a try. What could be more romantic than saving the world together?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A good example of a Snap Mini that you can try together is &lt;strong&gt;Let’s Do It&lt;/strong&gt;. It’s less about playing a game and more about spending some quality time together, even if you’re not physically close to each other now. Let’s Do It has a few different categories of activities, from listening to music to cooking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each category also comes with a variety of suggestions. You can pick what exactly you’re going to listen to/cook manually, or by chance. Then share the results with your partner and get them to do it with you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Complete an Online Escape Room Game&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Escape room games are great for people who love solving problems and puzzles. They also have different themes and make your imagination run wild while also challenging your logical abilities.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;495&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/escape-room-game.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73416&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/escape-room-game.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/escape-room-game-300x218.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/escape-room-game-69x50.jpg.optimal.jpg 69w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you haven’t done an escape room together before, it’s a great chance to discover a new fun date activity. For those who already know about this type of game, playing an escape room game online can serve as a source of training for future escape room adventures.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whether you’re into murder mysteries, fantasy, or maybe you and your partner are fans of Minecraft – you’ll find the right game for you on our list of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/cool-websites/12-best-escape-room-games-online/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;the best online escape room games&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Take a Happy Couple Quiz&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.happycouple.co/en/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Happy Couple&lt;/a&gt; is an app that can help you find out how well you know each other. The app gives you and your partner short quizzes to answer and see how many of your answers match.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;589&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/happy-couple-app.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73417&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/happy-couple-app.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/happy-couple-app-300x260.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/happy-couple-app-58x50.jpg.optimal.jpg 58w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each day you’ll receive 5-question quizzes, where three questions will match with your partner’s quiz and two are random. The questions range from the obvious ones like “how did you meet your partner” to more interesting ones like “how would you prefer to get a message when your partner can’t reach you in person”. All questions have multiple choices with an option to write down your own answer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Taking Happy Couple quizzes can be just a fun little thing to do together on a virtual date night, as well as a cool way to learn new things about each other.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;Play a Co-op Video Game&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most multiplayer video games encourage you to compete with other players. For a virtual date night, a co-op video game will be more suitable. Playing on the same team can inspire you to help and support each other, and winning a game together will bring you even closer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those of you who prefer battle royale games, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/home&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Fortnite&lt;/a&gt; should be the #1 choice of a co-op game to play together. You can pick whether you want to battle zombies together or fight against other online players.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What If You’re Not Into Gaming?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You don’t have to love playing games to organize a great virtual date for your loved one. There are plenty of alternative activities you can do together online. For example, you can &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/fun-stuff/how-to-watch-netflix-with-friends/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;watch a movie or a TV show on Netflix together&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;328&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/google-maps-treks.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73421&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/google-maps-treks.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/google-maps-treks-300x145.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/google-maps-treks-80x39.jpg.optimal.jpg 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re looking for something a little more exotic and less ordinary, take your date on a virtual trek. Thanks to Google’s Street View, you can take your partner to explore new places around the world without leaving your home. Don’t know where to start? Use &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.google.com/maps/about/treks/#/grid&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Google Maps Treks&lt;/a&gt; for inspiration.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What If You’re Single?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you don’t have a partner to go on a virtual date with, you can try your luck finding them on &lt;a href=&quot;https://bumble.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Bumble&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/cool-websites/the-5-best-free-online-dating-apps/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;The dating app&lt;/a&gt; now has new tools that can help you enjoy virtual dating even before you meet your match in person.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bumble’s virtual dating tools include a &lt;strong&gt;Virtual Date Badge&lt;/strong&gt; – for showing to other users you’re happy to video chat, the &lt;strong&gt;Question Game&lt;/strong&gt; – for easy conversation starters, &lt;strong&gt;Audio Notes&lt;/strong&gt; – for recording short audio messages, and expanded &lt;strong&gt;Distance Filter&lt;/strong&gt; – for matching with people who live further than 100 miles away from your location.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Make a Plan for a Virtual Date&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Being apart can be hard, no matter how well you know each other and how strong your feelings are. Having a virtual date game night is a great way to take your mind off things and to lift off the pressure of being away from each other. If you didn’t find the right game for you on the list, check out our top picks of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/gaming/10-two-player-games-you-can-play-online/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;two-player games that you can play online&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While group video chat has been around for some time, there’s a good chance that until now you’ve never really had a reason to use it. Which means learning a whole new checklist of etiquette rules and technical preparation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;383&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/1-2.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73402&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/1-2.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/1-2-300x169.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/1-2-80x45.jpg.optimal.jpg 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The good news is you don’t have to worry about bad breath anymore, but you should try to do the following Zoom tests before your next important meeting.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Prepare Your Environment&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While you may not be in the same physical space as your colleagues, Zoom connects all your individual spaces together. Which also means any problems your environment has can become an issue in your meeting. What sorts of problems? Well, it will depend on individual circumstances, but here are a few key tips:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;383&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2-1.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73403&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2-1.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2-1-300x169.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2-1-80x45.jpg.optimal.jpg 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make sure that your environment is adequately lit.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If possible, pick a place with access control, like a door that can be locked.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Try to choose a room that’s not too prone to echoes. Somewhere with a carpet, thick drapes and soft furniture is generally good.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Check the room for sources of noise. A beeping device, squeaky fan or other similar issue will grate on the nerves of all the other meeting participants.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Check the framing of your video stream carefully. Is there something inappropriate or distracting in view? Consider moving where you sit or moving those objects out of the way.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This isn’t a comprehensive list, so look around the environment you’ll be using during your Zoom meeting and try to think if anything would cause problems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Consider Using a Virtual Background&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Zoom offers the ability to replace your background with a virtual one. This works the same as any “green screen” setup, but you don’t specifically need a green screen. As long as your background is a uniform color and evenly lit, you should get good results. Your virtual background doesn’t have to be perfect, but you can test it in the Zoom settings to make sure it works for you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;383&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/3-1.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73404&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/3-1.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/3-1-300x169.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/3-1-80x45.jpg.optimal.jpg 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re not getting great results, you can try lighting the background more evenly or invest in a pop-up green screen. There are even cool ideas like the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.amazon.com/Webaround-Portable-Webcam-Background-Chroma/dp/B06Y2G2YP5/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2217R5I2E67BZ&amp;amp;dchild=1&amp;amp;keywords=pop+up+green+screen&amp;amp;qid=1604391248&amp;amp;sprefix=pop+up+gre%2Caps%2C378&amp;amp;sr=8-5&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Webaround chair-mounted green screen&lt;/a&gt; which makes it pretty easy to get coverage of the entire camera frame.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Have A Note-Taking Solution&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a preparation tip that applies to real-life meetings as well, but you should have some sort of note-taking solution. It can be a pen and paper, a tablet with a pen, or a phone with an on-screen keyboard.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;383&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/4-1.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73405&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/4-1.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/4-1-300x169.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/4-1-80x45.jpg.optimal.jpg 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some Zoom meetings are recorded. In which case you don’t need to take notes intended for reference after the meeting has ended. Instead, notes are useful for organizing your questions and feedback. It’s the nature of Zoom meetings that you probably won’t have much time to speak when it’s your turn. Keeping notes helps you make the best of the time you have.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Check That Your Screen Is Appropriate To Share&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whether you plan to share your computer screen with others during the meeting or not, always be prepared to do so at a moment’s notice. What does this mean? Make sure your wallpaper is appropriate for work, it’s probably best to change it to one of the Windows built-in selections. Close any applications that are open and might display private or sensitive content.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;383&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/5-1.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73406&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/5-1.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/5-1-300x169.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/5-1-80x45.jpg.optimal.jpg 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re likely to use a web browser, you may want to turn off automated search completion or use a portable browser with none of your search history. The last thing you want is for websites or search terms you’ve visited on your own personal time to show up on screen for the whole group to see.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Run an Internet Speed Test&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once you’ve found a good spot for your meeting and have prepped the environment, you should check whether your internet speed is adequate. Run an &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-make-sure-you-get-the-network-speeds-you-pay-for/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;internet speed test&lt;/a&gt; and check whether you have enough bandwidth to take part in a Zoom meeting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The minimum requirement for a Zoom group video call is about 1 Mbps of bandwidth. That’s in both directions. Upstream bandwidth is very important for video calls. If your internet is slow in sending information, that’s going to affect the experience for other participants. Ideally you want 3 Mbps in both directions to ensure high-quality HD video streaming.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;383&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/6-1.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73407&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/6-1.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/6-1-300x169.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/6-1-80x45.jpg.optimal.jpg 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the speed test shows that your connection isn’t as fast as your internet package should be, then you’ll have to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/cannot-connect-to-internet-in-windows/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;troubleshoot your internet performance&lt;/a&gt;. That means making sure there’s enough WiFi signal strength and ensuring you’re not in a dead spot. Check out our guide on &lt;a href=&quot;https://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/10-ways-to-boost-a-weak-wifi-signal/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;speeding up WiFi&lt;/a&gt; internet or consider using an Ethernet cable, if possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Make Sure Your Webcam and Microphone Are Working&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now we come to perhaps the most critical test to do before your Zoom meeting: making sure your microphone and webcam work. Here’s what you need to do:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Plug in your microphone and webcam&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If prompted, you might have to install software or drivers for them. Usually this is a plug-and-play experience&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open &lt;strong&gt;Zoom&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select the &lt;strong&gt;settings cog&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select &lt;strong&gt;Video&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Choose the correct webcam from the dropdown list, if applicable&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Check the preview to see if it looks good (or if it appears at all)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Adjust other settings, such as HD quality, to suit your needs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select &lt;strong&gt;Audio&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Make sure the correct audio device is selected for both Speaker and Microphone&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select &lt;strong&gt;Test Speaker&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Test Microphone&lt;/strong&gt; each in turn to ensure they’re working&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;383&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/7-1.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73408&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/7-1.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/7-1-300x169.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/7-1-80x45.jpg.optimal.jpg 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We also suggest that you tick the box “Mute my microphone when joining a meeting”, because that’s just good manners. Also, it prevents you from accidentally saying something you don’t want the rest of the people in the meeting to hear, because you forgot to mute your mic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For detailed Zoom setup instructions, check out &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/software-reviews/how-to-set-up-use-zoom-is-it-better-than-skype/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;How To Set Up &amp;amp; Use Zoom – Is It Better Than Skype?&lt;/a&gt; for expert advice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If your webcam isn’t working, head over to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/quick-fixes-when-your-zoom-meeting-camera-isnt-working/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Quick Fixes When Your Zoom Meeting Camera Isn’t Working&lt;/a&gt; to get that sorted in no time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Join a Test Meeting&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The last step in the process before joining your Zoom meeting is to call the Zoom test meeting service. Just head over to &lt;a href=&quot;https://zoom.us/test&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;https://zoom.us/test&lt;/a&gt; and follow the instructions. You’ll be able to confirm that all your gear is working and whether you sound good to the other participants in the meeting. If you encounter any issues with your mic, camera or internet connectivity here then you can simply go through the list of checks above again to find the issue.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Take some time to learn &lt;a href=&quot;https://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/how-to-record-a-zoom-meeting/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;how to record a Zoom meeting&lt;/a&gt;. You can also learn &lt;a href=&quot;https://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/how-to-host-a-zoom-cloud-meeting-on-a-smartphone-or-desktop/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;how to host a Zoom meeting&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Technical Problems Happen, Then Life Happens&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We hope your Zoom meeting went well and without any hitches, but the last thing you have to know is that some things are just out of your control. There is no amount of preparation or backups you can put in place to make sure that your meeting will go off without a hitch. Technical problems can always happen and you should just roll with them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The same goes for things that aren’t strictly technical. If your cat jumps up on the desk and blocks the camera, that’s just life. It’s not worth getting worked up over. We’re all human beings and we’re all living under abnormal circumstances right now. So chill out, enjoy your meeting and rest assured you’ve done everything you reasonably could to run the right Zoom tests before your meeting. Now all you need to do is learn how to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-fake-paying-attention-in-zoom-video-calls/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;fake paying attention in a Zoom call&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The HomePod mini is a lot easier to recommend than the original. It’s significantly cheaper than the first HomePod, which automatically means more people will consider it. And it’s a lot more capable than the original was in 2018, with more of the features you’d expect from a smart speaker.

It can take a long time to build up a loyal community of viewers, from a couple of regulars to thousands of loyal fans, ready to support your community as it grows. Twitch, like YouTube and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/software-reviews/best-twitch-alternatives-for-streaming/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;other streaming platforms&lt;/a&gt;, isn’t an easy place to break into—you’ll need to hustle to make your mark.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One way to do just that is by using a common Twitch promotional trick called &lt;strong&gt;Twitch raiding&lt;/strong&gt;. This selfless act helps to promote other Twitch streamers who, in turn, will hopefully return the favor. To help you, here’s everything you’ll need to know about how to raid on Twitch and why it could benefit your channel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;617&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Raid-Featured.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73368&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Raid-Featured.png 617w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Raid-Featured-300x109.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Raid-Featured-80x29.png 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 617px) 100vw, 617px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is a Twitch Raid?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When a Twitch streamer finishes their stream, they have two options. First, they can close the stream, forcing any viewers to switch to another channel themselves. Alternatively, the streamer can &lt;strong&gt;raid&lt;/strong&gt; another stream, forwarding the audience into that channel and boosting the audience in the process.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Twitch streamers, especially new streamers, rely on Twitch raids to boost audience numbers. If you only get a limited number of viewers per stream, then a raid can massively boost that number, especially if it’s a bigger streamer raiding a new streamer, increasing exposure and helping to grow follower numbers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;327&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Channel-Example.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73369&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Channel-Example.png 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Channel-Example-300x144.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Channel-Example-80x38.png 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not only is this a nice thing to do, but it’s also a two-way street. If you regularly raid other Twitch streamers, you’re more likely to receive the same raids back when their stream ends (and if you’re still streaming).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You don’t need to worry about being forgotten about, either, as the Twitch interface allows streamers to see who recently raided their channel in the last 24 hours. This list can come in handy, especially if you’re a streamer looking to help a new channel grow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Benefits of Twitch Raiding&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Twitch raid is a selfless act—almost. Of course, raiding another Twitch channel doesn’t do anything to benefit the streamer or user who does it. By forwarding a stream audience to another streamer, the immediate benefit is to the streamer who receives the raid.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For Twitch streamers who do raid, however, it offers networking opportunities that would otherwise be difficult to gain, especially for new streamers. Groups of Twitch streamers with smaller communities can all raid each other to help build their audiences, for instance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;503&quot; height=&quot;302&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Stream-User-Count.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73370&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Stream-User-Count.png 503w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Stream-User-Count-300x180.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Stream-User-Count-80x48.png 80w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Stream-User-Count-70x43.png 70w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Stream-User-Count-140x85.png 140w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you raid mid-to-large Twitch channels, you may find yourself lost in the list of other raids, but if you’re lucky, your action might gain the notice of the streamer, who will raid you back in return (with a big increase in audience numbers and followers).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A word of warning, however. There isn’t any guarantee that a Twitch raid will mean that you benefit from a raid in kind, so don’t raid with the expectation of something in return. Some Twitch channels also block raids from unknown accounts to limit spam or harassment, so you may find that your raids are limited to your friends.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Raid Someone on Twitch&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like other Twitch user actions, such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/gaming/how-to-clip-on-twitch/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;clipping a Twitch stream&lt;/a&gt;, you can start a Twitch raid in the Twitch streamer chat box online, as well as via the Twitch mobile app for Android and iPhone users.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To start a raid from the Twitch, type &lt;strong&gt;/raid channel&lt;/strong&gt;, replacing &lt;strong&gt;channel&lt;/strong&gt; with the username of the Twitch streamer you wish to raid.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;546&quot; height=&quot;641&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Web-Begin-Raid.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73371&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Web-Begin-Raid.png 546w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Web-Begin-Raid-256x300.png 256w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Web-Begin-Raid-43x50.png 43w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 546px) 100vw, 546px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When you begin a raid, a pop-up control box will appear. Select the &lt;strong&gt;Raid Now&lt;/strong&gt; button to begin the raid immediately or &lt;strong&gt;Cancel&lt;/strong&gt; to cancel it. If you ignore the box, the raid will begin automatically after 80 seconds.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;398&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Web-Raid-Control.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73372&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Web-Raid-Control.png 398w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Web-Raid-Control-300x181.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Web-Raid-Control-80x48.png 80w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Web-Raid-Control-70x43.png 70w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Web-Raid-Control-140x85.png 140w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 398px) 100vw, 398px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once the raid has successfully begun, your channel will now host (repeat) that user’s stream. Any user who visits your channel will see the raided stream and chat box, along with a pop-up alert to inform them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Configuring Your Twitch Raid Settings&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a Twitch streamer, you may think that all publicity (and all Twitch raids) is worth it. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case. While it is rare, there are Twitch accounts out there that will spam or harass other users, using Twitch raids to dump their community into a channel that isn’t prepared to handle it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re worried about the impact of a Twitch raid, you can configure your raid settings to prevent this by switching to a “follower only” chat as you stream, by limiting raids to friends, or by reporting bad quality raiders after they’ve happened.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you want to limit the impact of a Twitch raid by switching to follower only mode, you’ll need to select the &lt;strong&gt;Settings gear icon&lt;/strong&gt; next to your chat box, then select the &lt;strong&gt;Follower-only&lt;/strong&gt; checkbox to limit messages only to existing followers. You can also set the length of time that the user needs to have been a follower for, preventing new users from chatting in an attempt to deal with the impact of a bad raid.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;499&quot; height=&quot;446&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Set-Follower-Only-Chat.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73373&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Set-Follower-Only-Chat.png 499w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Set-Follower-Only-Chat-300x268.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Set-Follower-Only-Chat-56x50.png 56w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you want to report a Twitch raid, or block an account from raiding you again, select the &lt;strong&gt;Settings gear icon&lt;/strong&gt;, then select the &lt;strong&gt;Recent raids&lt;/strong&gt; option. Next to a list of previous raids, select the &lt;strong&gt;Ban&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Report&lt;/strong&gt; options.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;499&quot; height=&quot;328&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Ban-Report-Raid-Accounts.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73374&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Ban-Report-Raid-Accounts.png 499w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Ban-Report-Raid-Accounts-300x197.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Ban-Report-Raid-Accounts-76x50.png 76w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-Ban-Report-Raid-Accounts-130x85.png 130w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To limit Twitch raids to friends only, you’ll need to head to your &lt;strong&gt;Twitch Settings&lt;/strong&gt; by selecting your username icon in the top-right, then selecting the &lt;strong&gt;Creator Dashboard&lt;/strong&gt; option.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;381&quot; height=&quot;361&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-User-Icon-Settings-Menu.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73375&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-User-Icon-Settings-Menu.png 381w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-User-Icon-Settings-Menu-300x284.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Twitch-User-Icon-Settings-Menu-53x50.png 53w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 381px) 100vw, 381px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;4&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the &lt;strong&gt;Creator Dashboard&lt;/strong&gt; menu, select the &lt;strong&gt;Preferences &amp;gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Channel&lt;/strong&gt; option. Under &lt;strong&gt;Raids&lt;/strong&gt;, select the &lt;strong&gt;Only allow raids from friends, teammates, and followed channels&lt;/strong&gt; option to stop raids from unknown Twitch accounts.

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Building a Twitch Community&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’ve &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/gaming/how-to-stream-on-twitch-a-guide-for-newbies/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;just started to stream on Twitch&lt;/a&gt;, then raiding other Twitch channels could be a good way to make connections with other streamers. The promotion can be two-way, with other streamers willing to return the favor if you’re regularly raiding their streamers with your own community and audience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It can be scary launching a new streaming channel, but once you’ve &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/software-reviews/best-twitch-streaming-software-for-windows-and-mac/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;chosen the right streaming software&lt;/a&gt;, set up a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/gadgets/the-top-5-webcams-for-live-streaming/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;high quality webcam&lt;/a&gt; and picked the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/gaming/how-to-choose-a-bitrate-for-twitch-youtube-streaming/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;right bitrate for your streams&lt;/a&gt;, all you need is to get online and start gaining &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/gaming/ott-explains-what-is-twitch-prime/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;free Twitch Prime subscriptions&lt;/a&gt; (as well as paid subs) to build up an income and go full time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you don’t have an existing network, you could create an ad-hoc wireless network, &lt;a href=&quot;https://helpdeskgeek.com/featured-posts/hdg-explains-what-is-bluetooth-what-it-is-most-commonly-used-for/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;use Bluetooth&lt;/a&gt; to make the connection, or use a portable WiFi router or a smartphone to create a temporary network for you. If you want to know how to connect two computers wirelessly, here’s what you’ll need to do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;617&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Connect-PCs-Wirelessly-Featured.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73377&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Connect-PCs-Wirelessly-Featured.png 617w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Connect-PCs-Wirelessly-Featured-300x109.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Connect-PCs-Wirelessly-Featured-80x29.png 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 617px) 100vw, 617px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Joining an Existing Wireless Network&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to network two computers wirelessly, the easiest method is to use an existing wireless network to make the connection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While other methods listed below will allow you to make a connection, they won’t offer you the reliability that an established network will. A network with a dedicated wireless router will offer the best speeds and WiFi range, as well as potential internet access and access to other devices on a network (such as a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-10/how-to-add-a-printer-in-windows-10/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;network printer&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/wireless-router.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73379&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/wireless-router.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/wireless-router-300x176.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/wireless-router-80x47.jpg.optimal.jpg 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once two devices are joined to an existing network, it’s a straightforward process to share files, play local games, and do much more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Creating an Ad-Hoc Wireless Network&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re lacking an existing local network to connect to, you can use your PC’s or laptop’s wireless adapter to create an &lt;strong&gt;ad-hoc&lt;/strong&gt; wireless network instead. This is a temporary network that uses a built-in or USB WiFi adapter to create a network that other devices can connect to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To set up an ad-hoc network on Windows 10, you’ll need to use the &lt;a href=&quot;https://helpdeskgeek.com/free-tools-review/using-powershell-for-home-users-a-beginners-guide/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Windows PowerShell&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. To open this, right-click the Start menu and select the &lt;strong&gt;Windows PowerShell (Admin)&lt;/strong&gt; option.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;381&quot; height=&quot;398&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Launch-PowerShell.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73380&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Launch-PowerShell.png 381w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Launch-PowerShell-287x300.png 287w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Launch-PowerShell-48x50.png 48w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 381px) 100vw, 381px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the open &lt;strong&gt;PowerShell&lt;/strong&gt; terminal window, type &lt;strong&gt;netsh wlan show drivers&lt;/strong&gt;. This will list information about your available WiFi devices, including whether they support the ability to create a virtual access point. If the &lt;strong&gt;Hosted network supported&lt;/strong&gt; option is listed as &lt;strong&gt;no&lt;/strong&gt;, then you may need to update the installed driver or try another device.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;552&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-PowerShell-Netsh-Driver.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73381&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-PowerShell-Netsh-Driver.png 552w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-PowerShell-Netsh-Driver-300x217.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-PowerShell-Netsh-Driver-69x50.png 69w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If your device supports it, type &lt;strong&gt;netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=adhoc key=password&lt;/strong&gt; to create a virtual WiFi network, replacing the &lt;strong&gt;ssid&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;key&lt;/strong&gt; sections with your own preferred network name (&lt;strong&gt;ssid&lt;/strong&gt;) and WiFi network password (&lt;strong&gt;key&lt;/strong&gt;). Once you’ve done that, type &lt;strong&gt;netsh wlan start hostednetwork&lt;/strong&gt; to start the network.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;625&quot; height=&quot;220&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-PowerShell-Netsh-Start-Adhoc.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73382&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-PowerShell-Netsh-Start-Adhoc.png 625w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-PowerShell-Netsh-Start-Adhoc-300x106.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-PowerShell-Netsh-Start-Adhoc-80x28.png 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;4&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Assuming there are no errors, the ad-hoc wireless network you’ve created should be visible to other devices. Connect to it using the network password you specified to complete the connection.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;533&quot; height=&quot;643&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-WiFi-List.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73383&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-WiFi-List.jpg.optimal.jpg 533w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-WiFi-List-249x300.jpg.optimal.jpg 249w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-WiFi-List-41x50.jpg.optimal.jpg 41w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;5&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you want to disable the ad-hoc network when you’re finished, type &lt;strong&gt;netsh wlan stop hostednetwork&lt;/strong&gt; in the open PowerShell window. Any devices that are currently connected will be disconnected at this point and the ad-hoc network will no longer be visible to other devices.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;454&quot; height=&quot;145&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-PowerShell-Netsh-Stop-Adhoc.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73384&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-PowerShell-Netsh-Stop-Adhoc.png 454w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-PowerShell-Netsh-Stop-Adhoc-300x96.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-PowerShell-Netsh-Stop-Adhoc-80x26.png 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 454px) 100vw, 454px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once an ad-hoc network has been established, you can use it to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/free-software-downloads/share-files-and-folders-across-computers/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;share files&lt;/a&gt; across devices or use &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/share-internet-connection-windows/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;internet connection sharing&lt;/a&gt; to share an existing internet connection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Connecting Two Computers Wirelessly Using Bluetooth&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While a WiFi network (permanent or ad hoc) is a great way to connect two computers wirelessly, an alternative is to use Bluetooth to create a connection. While the available range and speeds require both devices to be nearby, Bluetooth has been designed with short-term connections in mind.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To connect two devices wirelessly using Bluetooth, you’ll need to make sure that both devices have Bluetooth connectivity. Many modern laptops and PCs come with Bluetooth built-in, but you can use an external USB Bluetooth adapter to make a connection if it’s missing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To start, make sure that &lt;a href=&quot;https://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-10/how-to-turn-on-bluetooth-on-windows-10/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Bluetooth is turned on&lt;/a&gt; on the devices you’re looking to connect. You can do this on Windows 10 by selecting the &lt;strong&gt;action center icon&lt;/strong&gt; in the bottom-right corner of the taskbar, then selecting the &lt;strong&gt;Bluetooth&lt;/strong&gt; card to the &lt;strong&gt;On&lt;/strong&gt; position.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;570&quot; height=&quot;434&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Enable-Bluetooth.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73385&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Enable-Bluetooth.jpg.optimal.jpg 570w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Enable-Bluetooth-300x228.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Enable-Bluetooth-66x50.jpg.optimal.jpg 66w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Enable-Bluetooth-130x100.jpg.optimal.jpg 130w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Next, open the &lt;strong&gt;Settings&lt;/strong&gt; menu by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting the &lt;strong&gt;Settings&lt;/strong&gt; option.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;381&quot; height=&quot;398&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Launch-Settings.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73386&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Launch-Settings.png 381w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Launch-Settings-287x300.png 287w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Launch-Settings-48x50.png 48w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 381px) 100vw, 381px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the &lt;strong&gt;Settings&lt;/strong&gt; menu, go to the &lt;strong&gt;Devices &amp;gt; Bluetooth &amp;amp; other devices&lt;/strong&gt; menu, then select the &lt;strong&gt;Add Bluetooth or other device&lt;/strong&gt; button.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;4&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the &lt;strong&gt;Add a device&lt;/strong&gt; window, select the &lt;strong&gt;Bluetooth&lt;/strong&gt; option.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;582&quot; height=&quot;306&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Add-Device-Bluetooth-Option.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73388&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Add-Device-Bluetooth-Option.png 582w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Add-Device-Bluetooth-Option-300x158.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Add-Device-Bluetooth-Option-80x42.png 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 582px) 100vw, 582px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;5&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A list of nearby Bluetooth devices will appear in the next menu. Select the other computer you wish to connect with to begin to establish a connection. You may need to authenticate by typing in a PIN code that will be displayed on both screens.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;587&quot; height=&quot;432&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Add-Device-Select-PC.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73389&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Add-Device-Select-PC.png 587w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Add-Device-Select-PC-300x221.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Windows-Add-Device-Select-PC-68x50.png 68w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;6&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Once you’ve established a connection, right-click the &lt;strong&gt;Bluetooth icon&lt;/strong&gt; in the notifications area of your taskbar. From the menu, select the &lt;strong&gt;Send a File&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Receive a File&lt;/strong&gt; option to send or receive files, or &lt;strong&gt;Join a Personal Area Network&lt;/strong&gt; to join or create a shared network that allows you to share an internet connection with the other device.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Using WiFi Direct to Send Files Wirelessly&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re struggling with an ad-hoc WiFi or Bluetooth connection, you could &lt;a href=&quot;https://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-10/what-is-wifi-direct-in-windows-10-and-how-to-use-it/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;use &lt;strong&gt;WiFi Direct&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to share files instead. Windows fully supports the WiFi Direct standard, but to make things easier, you’ll need to use a third-party app called &lt;a href=&quot;https://feem.io/&quot;&gt;Feem&lt;/a&gt; to share files and establish connectivity instead.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you plan on establishing a WiFi Direct connection on Windows, you’ll need to make sure that your WiFi adapter or device on at least one device supports the &lt;a href=&quot;https://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-7/what-is-microsoft-virtual-wifi-miniport-adapter/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter&lt;/a&gt;. If this isn’t available, you won’t be able to create a WiFi Direct-capable network for another PC to connect to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To send files using WiFi Direct, &lt;a href=&quot;https://feem.io/#download&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;download and install Feem&lt;/a&gt; for your operating system. Feem supports Windows, Linux, and macOS devices.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;301&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Download-Feem.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73391&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Download-Feem.png 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Download-Feem-300x133.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Download-Feem-80x35.png 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Once Feem is installed on your PC or Mac, launch it. In the &lt;strong&gt;Feem&lt;/strong&gt; window, select the &lt;strong&gt;Turn on Wi-Fi Direct&lt;/strong&gt; slider to turn on the WiFi Direct network.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;624&quot; height=&quot;581&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Feem-Enable-WiFi-Direct.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73392&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Feem-Enable-WiFi-Direct.jpg.optimal.jpg 624w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Feem-Enable-WiFi-Direct-300x279.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Feem-Enable-WiFi-Direct-54x50.jpg.optimal.jpg 54w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;On the other device, make sure to connect to the network created by Feem, beginning with &lt;strong&gt;FeemWiFi&lt;/strong&gt; (eg. &lt;strong&gt;FeemWiFi-EducatedPelican&lt;/strong&gt;). Once you’re connected, the other devices will be listed in the Feem window. Select the other PC in the Feem list, then select the &lt;strong&gt;Send File&lt;/strong&gt; option to send a file to that PC.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;463&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Feem-Send-File.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73393&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Feem-Send-File.png 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Feem-Send-File-300x204.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Feem-Send-File-73x50.png 73w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;4&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;On the other device, the file being sent will appear in the Feem chat log. Selecting the file will give you options to open it, or view it in Windows File Explorer.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;444&quot; height=&quot;389&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Feem-Open-File.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73394&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Feem-Open-File.png 444w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Feem-Open-File-300x263.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Feem-Open-File-57x50.png 57w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Creating a Mobile Hotspot Using a Smartphone or Tablet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As Windows’ ad-hoc mode shows, creating a temporary wireless network can be a good way to connect two computers wirelessly for a short period of time, but that relies on you having a Windows PC around to do so.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An easier method is to use your smartphone or tablet to create a temporary wireless network instead. This turns your tablet or smartphone into a wireless router, allowing other types of devices to connect through it to share files or an internet connection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The benefit of this method is that, by setting up a mobile hotspot, your mobile data connection will be shared with all devices that connect to it. Android devices running Android 2.2 and later, as well as iPhones or iPads running iOS 4.2.5 and later (including iPadOS), are capable of becoming a mobile hotspot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To do this on Android, open the &lt;strong&gt;Settings&lt;/strong&gt; app. The settings menu will vary for different Android devices and versions, but select &lt;strong&gt;Network &amp;amp; Internet&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Connections &amp;gt; Mobile Hotspot and Tethering.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;302&quot; height=&quot;598&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Android-Hotspot-Menu.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73395&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Android-Hotspot-Menu.png 302w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Android-Hotspot-Menu-152x300.png 152w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Android-Hotspot-Menu-25x50.png 25w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the &lt;strong&gt;Mobile Hotspot and Tethering&lt;/strong&gt; menu (or &lt;strong&gt;Hotspot and Tethering&lt;/strong&gt; on older devices), tap the &lt;strong&gt;Mobile Hotspot&lt;/strong&gt; option, then tap the slider to the &lt;strong&gt;On&lt;/strong&gt; position. Make note of the &lt;strong&gt;Password&lt;/strong&gt; or change it, if required.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;302&quot; height=&quot;536&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Android-Enable-Hotspot.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73396&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Android-Enable-Hotspot.png 302w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Android-Enable-Hotspot-169x300.png 169w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Android-Enable-Hotspot-28x50.png 28w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;On iPhone or iPad, open the &lt;strong&gt;Settings&lt;/strong&gt; app. In the menu, tap &lt;strong&gt;Mobile Data&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Personal Hotspot&lt;/strong&gt; (depending on the device), then tap the &lt;strong&gt;Personal Hotspot&lt;/strong&gt; slider to the &lt;strong&gt;On&lt;/strong&gt; position. Take note of (or change) the &lt;strong&gt;Wi-Fi Password&lt;/strong&gt;, as you’ll need this to connect to your temporary network.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;302&quot; height=&quot;555&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/iOS-Enable-Hotspot.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73397&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/iOS-Enable-Hotspot.png 302w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/iOS-Enable-Hotspot-163x300.png 163w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/iOS-Enable-Hotspot-27x50.png 27w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;4&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Once the WiFi hotspot is active, connect to the network using the selected password on both devices.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;348&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Mac-Connect-to-Network.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73398&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Mac-Connect-to-Network.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Mac-Connect-to-Network-300x154.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Mac-Connect-to-Network-80x41.jpg.optimal.jpg 80w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While a mobile hotspot will only be able to connect a small number of devices together, it will allow you to connect at least two devices together wirelessly. Once connected, you can then use existing services to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-access-mac-files-on-a-windows-pc/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;share files between platforms&lt;/a&gt; or use shared services.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Using a Portable WiFi Router&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While a smartphone or tablet can create a quick, temporary mobile network, a better solution for a wider number of devices is to use a portable WiFi router. These have been designed for establishing simple temporary networks while you’re away from home, but can also be used in day-to-day usage for two PCs or laptops to connect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;468&quot; height=&quot;294&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Portable-Router-Example.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73399&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Portable-Router-Example.png 468w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Portable-Router-Example-300x188.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Portable-Router-Example-80x50.png 80w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Portable-Router-Example-70x43.png 70w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Devices like the &lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/3kuas08&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;TP-Link WR902AC&lt;/a&gt; create a network that any WiFi-capable device can connect to. More advanced routers, like the &lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/2JVXhIx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Huawei E5577Cs-321&lt;/a&gt;, also include built-in 4G connectivity, offering a dedicated mobile internet connection for devices that connect to it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most portable routers don’t require any setup—simply plug-in and connect. Others come packaged with a mobile app that can allow for quick configuration and device monitoring.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other Connection Methods&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re researching how to connect two computers wirelessly, then the methods above offer your best options, with the ability to share files, internet connections, play games, and more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re trying to link two computers together, the easiest method is to join them to the same network. &lt;a href=&quot;https://helpdeskgeek.com/networking/hdg-explains-what-is-ethernet-is-it-better-than-wifi/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Wired connections using ethernet&lt;/a&gt; work best for speed and reliability, but it’s easy enough to link together two devices wirelessly, especially if you have an existing wireless network available to use.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you don’t have an existing network, you could create an ad-hoc wireless network, &lt;a href=&quot;https://helpdeskgeek.com/featured-posts/hdg-explains-what-is-bluetooth-what-it-is-most-commonly-used-for/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;use Bluetooth&lt;/a&gt; to make the connection, or use a portable WiFi router or a smartphone to create a temporary network for you. If you want to know how to connect two computers wirelessly, here’s what you’ll need to do.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The feature, which is mostly used for video playback, is found in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/smartphones/the-best-android-smartphones-compared-2020/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Android smartphones&lt;/a&gt; running Android Oreo and later versions of the operating system.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We’ll explain how Android picture in picture mode works and how to use it on your smartphone or tablet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Picture in Picture Works&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PiP is a convenient feature that comes in handy when you start watching a video on a compatible app and want to multitask.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you tap the home button on your phone, the video will shrink into a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/web-site-tips/how-to-make-great-youtube-thumbnails-for-your-videos/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;thumbnail view&lt;/a&gt;, which remains docked on your screen. This way, you can continue watching your video while using other apps with PiP turned on.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plus, you can zoom in or out and adjust to different sizes depending on what you’re doing on the phone.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;438&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-how-it-works.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73340&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-how-it-works.jpg.optimal.jpg 680w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-how-it-works-300x193.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-how-it-works-78x50.jpg.optimal.jpg 78w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-how-it-works-130x85.jpg.optimal.jpg 130w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the window is getting in the way, you can drag or swipe it to different parts of the screen to dock the thumbnail and continue playing on top of other apps. The audio will still continue to play and you can use the tab to pull the window out again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Android’s Picture in Picture mode isn’t compatible with all apps but you can check the app developer’s site to find out whether the program supports this function. Some of the apps that support PiP mode include Google Chrome, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/google-softwaretips/what-is-youtube-premium-and-is-it-worth-it/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;YouTube Premium&lt;/a&gt;, Google Maps, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/cool-websites/7-best-live-tv-streaming-services-to-drop-cable-for-good/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;YouTube TV&lt;/a&gt;, Netflix, Google Movies &amp;amp; TV, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp (video chats), Google Duo, VLC, Hulu, and Pocket Casts (video podcasts).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Use Android Picture in Picture Mode&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before using the Android PiP mode, check that all your Android apps are up to date and then take the steps below to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.switchingtomac.com/tutorials/osx/how-to-enable-use-picture-in-picture-mode-on-your-mac/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;enable picture in picture mode&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note&lt;/strong&gt;: If your device is running Android Oreo (8.0) and above, PiP mode is enabled by default.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For this guide, we used an Android phone running Android Pie.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go to &lt;strong&gt;Settings&lt;/strong&gt; on your phone. Tap &lt;strong&gt;Apps&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Apps &amp;amp; Notifications&lt;/strong&gt; depending on your device.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;372&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-apps.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73341&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-apps.png 372w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-apps-300x258.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-apps-58x50.png 58w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 372px) 100vw, 372px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select the app for which you want to enable PiP (in older Android versions, select &lt;strong&gt;Advanced&lt;/strong&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tap to toggle the &lt;strong&gt;Allow Permission&lt;/strong&gt; option to enable PiP.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Launch Android Picture in Picture on Different Apps&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Depending on the app, you can launch picture-in-picture mode on your Android device by playing a video and pressing the home button.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Use PiP Mode in Google Chrome Browser&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re using &lt;strong&gt;Google Chrome&lt;/strong&gt; browser, go to the website that contains the video you want to watch.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open the video and set it to full screen.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note&lt;/strong&gt;: This also works for YouTube videos you watch in Chrome.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select &lt;strong&gt;Play&lt;/strong&gt;, and then press &lt;strong&gt;Home&lt;/strong&gt; button to launch the video in PiP mode.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Drag the video around your phone’s screen and dock it where you want so you can use other apps while watching the video.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;4&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To close the video, drag the thumbnail view down the bottom of your screen to dismiss it.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Use PiP Mode in YouTube&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For YouTube Premium (formerly YouTube Red), start a video and then press the &lt;strong&gt;Home&lt;/strong&gt; button to launch picture-in-picture mode.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;YouTube Premium users scan also set the YouTube app to default to background play instead of PiP. This way, you can watch videos when the screen is off or while using other apps.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To enable Background play in YouTube Premium, open &lt;strong&gt;Settings&lt;/strong&gt;, go to &lt;strong&gt;Background &amp;amp; Downloads&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select &lt;strong&gt;Background Play&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You’ll see three options to choose from:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Always on&lt;/strong&gt;: Your videos will always play in the background&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Headphones or external speakers&lt;/strong&gt;: Your videos will only play in the background when you connect an external audio output to your phone&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Off&lt;/strong&gt;: Your videos won’t play in the background&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;590&quot; height=&quot;514&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-youtube-premium-background-play-options.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73350&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-youtube-premium-background-play-options.png 590w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-youtube-premium-background-play-options-300x261.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-youtube-premium-background-play-options-57x50.png 57w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note&lt;/strong&gt;: You can watch videos on the free YouTube app in thumbnail view while multitasking by using the Pop-up view or &lt;a href=&quot;https://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/how-to-split-the-screen-on-android-with-free-apps/&quot;&gt;Split screen&lt;/a&gt; view.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To use the pop-up or split screen view in the free YouTube app, go to your Recently opened apps view. Find YouTube, downpress the app icon and select &lt;strong&gt;open in pop-up view&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;open in split-screen view&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;429&quot; height=&quot;525&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-split-screen-popup-view.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73351&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-split-screen-popup-view.png 429w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-split-screen-popup-view-245x300.png 245w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-split-screen-popup-view-41x50.png 41w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 429px) 100vw, 429px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The difference between using PiP mode and using the pop-up or split-screen view is that the latter doesn’t dock to your screen. This means that if you close all the apps you’re using, the thumbnail view will be closed and you have to open it again to resume watching.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Use PiP Mode in Facebook&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re using the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-log-out-of-facebook-messenger-on-ios-android/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Facebook app&lt;/a&gt;, you can watch videos in PiP mode on your phone while using other apps.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To do this, open the video you want to watch on Facebook and tap on the little square at the top left corner of the video to minimize the window.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;423&quot; height=&quot;390&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-facebook-square-minimize.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73352&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-facebook-square-minimize.jpg.optimal.jpg 423w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-facebook-square-minimize-300x277.jpg.optimal.jpg 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-facebook-square-minimize-54x50.jpg.optimal.jpg 54w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 423px) 100vw, 423px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Your video will shrink in size and you can move it to either of the four corners of your screen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Use PiP Mode in VLC&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can also enable PiP in &lt;strong&gt;VLC&lt;/strong&gt; via the app’s settings.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To do this, tap &lt;strong&gt;More&lt;/strong&gt; (three dots) at the bottom right side of the screen.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, you can use the pop-up player to enter PiP mode in VLC.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To do this, launch and play the video you want and select &lt;strong&gt;More&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Use PiP Mode in a WhatsApp Video Call&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can also use Android Picture in Picture when chatting with friends on a &lt;strong&gt;WhatsApp video call&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To do this, start the video call or join one, and then tap the &lt;strong&gt;Home&lt;/strong&gt; button. The video will open on your home screen in PiP mode.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;358&quot; height=&quot;427&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-whatsapp-video-call-pip.jpg.optimal.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73361&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-whatsapp-video-call-pip.jpg.optimal.jpg 358w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-whatsapp-video-call-pip-252x300.jpg.optimal.jpg 252w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-whatsapp-video-call-pip-42x50.jpg.optimal.jpg 42w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To dismiss the video in PiP mode, tap the thumbnail view to open the controls, and then tap the &lt;strong&gt;X&lt;/strong&gt; in the upper right corner of the mini player. Alternatively, drag the thumbnail view and drag the PiP player off the bottom of your phone’s screen.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to Disable Android Picture in Picture Mode for Android Apps&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To disable PiP, go to your device’s &lt;strong&gt;Settings &amp;gt; Apps&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;372&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-apps-1.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73363&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-apps-1.png 372w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-apps-1-300x258.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-apps-1-58x50.png 58w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 372px) 100vw, 372px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;2&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tap the three dots to open the Apps menu and select &lt;strong&gt;Special access&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;357&quot; height=&quot;326&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-settings-apps-menu-special-access.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73364&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-settings-apps-menu-special-access.png 357w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-settings-apps-menu-special-access-300x274.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-settings-apps-menu-special-access-55x50.png 55w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Select &lt;strong&gt;Picture-in-picture&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;305&quot; height=&quot;373&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-special-access-picture-in-picture.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73365&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-special-access-picture-in-picture.png 305w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-special-access-picture-in-picture-245x300.png 245w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-special-access-picture-in-picture-41x50.png 41w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 305px) 100vw, 305px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol start=&quot;4&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Next, select the app for which you want to disable PiP and tap the toggle to switch it off.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Image:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;figure class=&quot;aligncenter size-large&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;366&quot; height=&quot;340&quot; src=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-app-toggle-off.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-73366&quot; srcset=&quot;https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-app-toggle-off.png 366w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-app-toggle-off-300x279.png 300w, https://www.online-tech-tips.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/how-to-use-android-picture-in-picture-mode-app-toggle-off-54x50.png 54w&quot; sizes=&quot;(max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px&quot; /&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Work and Play on Your Android Device&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you multitask a lot on your Android device, hopping from one app to another, you’ll find the Android Picture in Picture (PiP) mode very convenient.&lt;/p&gt;
