What is an online match lobby?
An online match lobby is an informal “playground” where players gather for one-on-one online “pick up” games.
After entering the lobby, players post a “match offer” for other players to accept or they can select another player’s offer.
DartConnect’s unique lobby features:
- No webcam required
- Automatically connect with opponents, no connect code required
- Play 301, 501 or Cricket
- Watch any live lobby match on DartConnect TV
- Works with DC VideoConnect (optional)
Do I need a webcam?
No. Players who have video streaming will be marked with a webcam logo, but you can challenge anyone with or without a webcam.
Is my league participating?
All leagues in good standing with DartConnect, active or inactive have this option available. All they need to do is select the challenge night(s) they want to open the lobby and players with FREE DC Guest Account can start playing.
Check League Status
Enter your email to see if your league has activated a Challenge Night.
When is the lobby available?
Your league will select a specific night of the week for “Challenge Night”.
This night will be listed underneath the league lobby button.
What do I need to participate?
Being able to play matches in your league’s lobby just requires a few things:
- A DartConnect account – either a FREE Guest Account or a paid Premium Membership. If you don’t have an account, you can set one up in under 2 minutes – Click Here
- Your league must have the email you use for your account in their league rosters to connect you to the lobby. You can check if your league already has your email – Click Here
Lastly, you’ll need a device to use DartConnect with a compatible web browser. This can be a PC, tablet or even a smartphone. For more information on installing the app and tips for keeping score: Click Here
Are lobby matches shown on DartConnect TV?
Lobby matches are supported by DartConnect TV, but they will not appear on your league’s DCTV channel. Instead, these matches can be viewed by:
- Tapping on any match in the Live Match section of the lobby
- Entering the match’s watch code on the DCTV main page
Do lobby matches count towards my official league stats?
Lobby matches are considered casual and informal matches, so your player stats won’t count towards your league stats. If you’re a premium member, stats will count towards your personal account and will appear in your match log.
For lobby matches, ALL players will receive an email match report.

If you receive an “Unsupported” Message, you can try the following:

Troubleshooting Tips
Troubleshooting Tips
Note: If VideoConnect does not work, you can continue playing the match with scorekeeping only.
Try these solutions for the most common VideoConnect issues:
- Chrome isn’t recognizing the camera or microphone
This may be due to “permission settings”. For guidance in changing chrome’s settings to allow VideoConnect to use your camera and microphone, please see this helpful article from How To Geek – Click Here
Tip: Use the gear icon to change which camera or device you are using.
- VideoConnect appears connected, but I do not have video or audio
First, both players should use the toolbar refresh icon to restart VideoConnect. If that does not work, refresh the entire web browser (don’t worry, if using split screen, the scoreboard will not be affected).
If neither refresh works, tap the red “hangup” icon on the toolbar and use “Test Webcam and Microphone”.
- I am connected to my opponent in the scoring app, but my VideoConnect button says “Unavailable”
First, both players should use the toolbar refresh icon to restart VideoConnect. If that does not work, refresh the entire web browser.
If neither refresh works, try toggling the VideoConnect status to “OFF” and then “ON” again.
If still not working, use “Test Webcam and Microphone”.
Do I need a Webcam to play online?
No! DartConnect makes it easy to play online by calling your opponent directly or even using the instant messaging feature. Learn More
