Players triggering sounds

Suggestions
#1

Hello,
Is there a way for a player to trigger some sounds like one shots for spells from the DM account? If guess the answer is not, but I would love to see something like that, so the players can trigger their own sounds. Less work for the dm :smiley:
Thank you.

There kind of is. I don’t know if it is officially supported though. I have a SuperSyrin account and so does the other DM I play online with. As long as I am logged in and so is he it plays sounds for both accounts in the shared space. It works out as we do streams.

Hiya both, :slight_smile:

This is 102% a thing you have been able to do for ages. I get my players to trigger all their own spell effects and attack sounds, takes a load off me.

TO DO:

  1. go to the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines)
  2. select “Show Remote Control Links”
  3. Click the teeny play button on any sound you want your players to be able to trigger
  4. Share that link with them.
  5. They can now trigger that sound by, opening that link in a Browser, or sending it ANYHOW to the internet they like = several of my players use a Stream Deck and setup buttons for all the sounds they need [Website button set to GET requests = so the page doesn’t actually open]

Note: the thing that makes this link control the session YOU are running is the auth_token= number, so if you ever update that for any reason, your players will just have to change that number in every link so they work again. i.e. changing your auth_token (on the online control panel page is a way to take control away from naughty players should they abuse their privileges. :slight_smile: )

Works?

Let us all know if that works for you! Good hunting!
