How to set the loan duration
Decide how long each person has to return a game, with a general duration and a specific one for the games that need it.
11 steps with screenshots of the app
Every loan expires after a while: the app works it out when the game is lent and sends a reminder before it's due. You can set a general duration and a different one for a specific game, such as a long one. It works the same for your club's game library and for a Meeplay's: you open a Meeplay's from its page, with the Game library button.
- Have the Meeplay app installed and be logged in to your account.
- Manage an organization on Meeplay. If you don't have one yet, follow the How to create your organization guide first.
- Have a game library with games. If you don't have one yet, follow How to load your club's game library one game at a time.
In each screenshot, what you need to tap is outlined in yellow and pointed out with an arrow.
