Settings

There are two different ways to access Goto Bridge settings: from the menu bar displayed on the app home screen or directly from the menu displayed on the right side of the table.

Bidding and card play conventions

Goto Bridge allows you to set your bidding and card play conventions. You can select one of the many systems available in the app.
You can also create your own profile with the conventions you want to play.

Game table settings

This is where you can set all display and ergonomics options.

Cards

Card face

You can select a French or English deck of cards and choose between 2 and 4 colours (red/black or red/black/orange/blue).

Card back

It allows you to select the card back pattern.

Ergonomics

Suit preselection

Several options are available:

• Automatic: Goto Bridge automatically selects cards of the required suit in your hand. Then play the card you want.
• Manual: Click/tap the cards of the required suit in your hand to select them. Then play the card you want.
• Never: Play the card you want directly.

Confirm played card

Enabled: You must confirm the cards you play when they are at the centre of the table (the cards shake) by tapping them. If you have played the wrong card, it allows you to cancel it by tapping anywhere around the card.

Auto trick collection

Several choices are available for this option.
Never: you will always have to click on the trick to collect it.
After X seconds: the trick will be automatically collected after X seconds but you can still collect it by clicking on it.

Switch North and South when North is the declarer

Enabled: if North is the declarer, you play the deal with the North hand displayed at the bottom of the screen. The dummy, South, appears at the top of the screen, and East and West are thus switched.

Display South with cards lined up horizontally

Enabled: Cards of your hand will be displayed horizontally, not fanned out.

Play singletons automatically

Enabled: singletons (a single card of a given suit in your hand) are played automatically. If you disable this option, you will have to play singletons yourself.

Display the pop-up window with bidding tips

Enabled: the pop-up window with bidding tips will be displayed based on the last bids played. It gives you an estimate of the hand which made a higher bid. It gives you details on the range of the number of cards in each suit, as well as an estimate of the points in the hand.

Display the total number of tricks taken on the deal

Enabled: in the result windows, the total number of tricks taken on the deal will be displayed. If disabled, it is the trick difference for the contract played which is displayed (e.g. if 11 tricks are taken in a contract at the 4-level, +1 will be displayed).

Alert card

Enabled: alerts are displayed at the table.
As a reminder, in bridge, you must use the alert card as soon as you make a conventional bid. In other words, each non-standard bid must be alerted.

Animation speed

It allows you to set animation speed (e.g. how long it takes for a card to move from a player's hand to the centre of the table) and therefore the pace of a deal.

Table brightness

Increase and decrease table brightness by dragging the slider.

Sounds

Here you can select the sounds you want to hear while playing.
When boxes are unchecked, sounds are not played.
You can also set a specific voice for each player.

HELP FILE

About the GoTo Opener

GoToMeeting uses a 'helper' application to launch you into active sessions. This application is known as the GoTo Opener app. When you install the GoToMeeting software, this app is automatically installed on your computer as well. It will also run each time you join or start a session in order to connect you to your LogMeIn service.

How it's installed

For the large majority of our customers, the GoTo Opener automatically installs and updates itself when you join sessions using GoToMeeting.

1. The first time that you join or start a session using GoToMeeting, the GoTo Opener app will be automatically installed.
2. Then second time that you join or start a session, your web browser will detect the presence of the GoTo Opener on your computer and ask you for permission to launch it for you. Be sure to enable the 'remember this setting' option before continuing.
3. From that point on, the GoTo Opener will run automatically and launch you into your sessions quickly and seamlessly (unless you clear your browser cache or uninstall the app).

Installation troubleshooting

If the app taking a long time to download through the normal flow (or if you are encountering download or join issues), you can try these troubleshooting steps.

• If you are stuck on the Opener page, click the Download & Run link. This will prompt the GoTo Opener file to download again, which you can then open and run to continue being launched into session.
• If you encounter an issue when launching a meeting on your Windows desktop, you can click Download to manually download the g2minstallerextractor.exe file to your computer, then run the EXE to install the software and join again.
• Clear your web browser cache and try joining or starting the session again. This will help the browser properly detect whether the GoTo Opener is installed on your computer.
• Do a complete uninstall of the GoTo Opener, then try joining or starting a session again. This will give you a fresh join flow.
