If your club has a lot of games, the quickest way is to load them with Meeplay's Excel template: one row per game, with its copies, section and shelf. The app processes it and creates the library with all of them. If you would rather go one by one, see the guide to load it game by game.
Have the Meeplay app installed and be logged in to your account.
Manage an organization on Meeplay of the association, shop, organization or others type. If you don't have one yet, follow the "How to create your organization" guide first.
Be able to open and save an Excel file (.xlsx) on your phone, for example with Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.
In each screenshot, what you need to tap is outlined in yellow and pointed out with an arrow.
