Step 1: Create a coaching table

Showing hole cards to spectators is part of our coaching features. To create a coaching table you first need to create a club. Each of the players in your stream must be a member of the this club or they will not be able to join the table.

  • go to the unmasked.poker club page
  • if you have not already done so, create a club by pressing the plus button
  • go to games and create a game
  • use the copy invite link button to get a table link containing an invite link to your club
  • send this link to every other player. When they follow the link they will be able to join your club and take a seat at the table.
  • go to the table your self
  • find and click “acquire coaching privileges” in the sidebar to the right
  • go to settings (gear icon int the sidebar)
  • switch to advanced settings
  • find a setting called “Allow coaching”, press the “Enable Coaching” button
  • from now on all players will be notified about the table being a coaching table and people possibly being able to see their cards

Step 2: Create a new user to do the streaming

As you probably do not want to see all hole cards your self while playing, you need to use a second user in a second browser for that.

  • open the table invite link from Step 1 in a new browser context. You will have to use a different google account for this.
  • join the club using any name, something like "streamer" might be a good idea

Step 3: Make the cards visible for the streaming user

Option A:

  • assign the second user the coach role in the “members” page of the club
  • when visiting the table with the streaming user, click “acquire coaching privileges” in the sidebar
  • make sure you did not forget to enable coaching mode for the table
  • coaches(with acquired privileges) can see all hole cards while not being seated

Option B:

  • enable the “show all cards in public setting”
  • now every unseated player can see hole cards, even if not being coach

Step 4: Delay your stream for 5 minutes or so

  • this is for example possible with obs or twitch
  • it will prevent your players from peeking into your cards by watching the stream

Step 5: Customize the streamed view

  • you can change the look of your table in your club lobby (tab "Branding"). You need to have the role Manager or Brand Officer to do so.
  • or you can choose between different color schemes by pressing "c" at the table.
  • you can adjust the size and position of all table elements by holding down "shift" and using your mouse to drag or turning the mouse wheel.
  • choose any sidebar-panels you like to show to your audience by (icons in the lower part).
