Set up online darts from the board you already own.
You do not need an electronic board to play remotely. A normal board, a browser and a clear match setup are enough to get started, with camera tools available when you want them.
OPEN ONLINE DARTSStart with a stable board and device
Use the dartboard you normally throw at and put your phone, tablet or computer where you can reach the scorer without stepping into the throwing area. A stable connection matters more than an expensive setup.
Add a camera when the match needs board visibility
For remote matches, a phone or spare camera can show the board to the other player. Dartava also has multi-camera and board-assist tooling for supported setups, while manual scoring remains available.
Keep one authoritative match state
Both players should be looking at the same turn and score state. Dartava's online flow uses the shared match rather than asking each player to maintain a separate private scoreboard.
Test the practical things before the first leg
Check camera framing, lighting, audio if you use it, and whether both players can see the active score. Doing this before the match avoids breaking rhythm once the first leg starts.
