Meeting bingo is a 5×5 card of predictable call phrases. Mark a square when someone says its phrase; the first horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line wins. Bizword Bingo can do the listening and marking automatically on your device.
How to play meeting bingo
- Open Bizword Bingo in current Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
- Choose WFH Meeting Classics, Corporate Classics, or another built-in pack.
- Select how to listen: microphone, browser-tab audio, or both.
- Click Start Listening. Spoken phrases mark matching cells; you can also tap cells manually.
- Complete a row, column, or diagonal. Copy the winning card as an image and paste it into Slack or chat.
The phrases on the WFH card
The built-in meeting pack covers the moments that recur across platforms, including “you’re on mute,” “can you see my screen,” “I have a hard stop,” “in the chat,” “who just joined,” “I hear an echo,” “back-to-back,” and “this meeting could have been an email.” Cards draw a randomized subset, so teammates do not all receive the same board.
Automatic versus manual meeting bingo
Most online meeting bingo tools require you to watch the card and click every phrase. Bizword Bingo uses an on-device Moonshine speech model to transcribe complete utterances and match them against the active pack. Automatic marking lets the card follow the call while you keep paying attention. Manual tapping remains available when a name, acronym, or noisy connection defeats speech recognition.
Which listening mode should you use?
| Mode | Best for | What it hears |
|---|---|---|
| Mic + tab | Most remote meetings | Your microphone and the audio from a shared browser tab. |
| Browser tab | Meetings running in a browser | The shared tab’s audio without room noise. |
| Microphone | In-person rooms or desktop apps | Whatever reaches your device microphone. |
Platform note: browser-tab capture works best when the meeting itself is in a Chrome or Edge tab. For a desktop Zoom or Teams app, microphone mode can hear room or speaker audio.
Does meeting bingo record the call?
No. Audio is processed locally in a Web Worker by the Moonshine speech model and is not uploaded to Bizword Bingo. The model downloads once from the app’s own model host and is cached by the browser. Custom packs stay in local browser storage unless you explicitly export or share one.
Good meetings for bingo
- All-hands calls and town halls with recurring presentation language.
- Weekly status meetings, standups, retrospectives, and planning sessions.
- Sales QBRs, startup pitches, consultant readouts, and marketing reviews.
- Friendly team calls where everyone understands the game is about the jargon, not the speaker.
