- Random Name and Dice- Enter names into the widget. A random name will be chosen from your list. There are also dice available. Choose from 1-3 dice to roll.
- Sound Level- There is a bit more set up for this and you will need to have a built in or plug-and-play microphone for this to work, but it will recognize noise level in the room. Set your threshold and your sensitivity.
- QR- Enter a URL into the address bar in the widget and a QR code is created for that link.
- Drawing- It’s a whiteboard for your screen. There is a small window and full screen option.
