Timeline — queue of talks
How to put talks in a queue and run them one after another.
- What it is for
- The Timeline is today’s queue of talks. You start the first one and switch to the next with one button — or the program moves on by itself (Auto Next).
- Who can use it
- Operator in the program; moving to the next talk also from Stream Deck and a phone.
- Where to find it
- Timer tab → Presentation Timeline card.
1Timeline card
- 1 Add — choose lectures from the list to append to the end of the queue.
- 2 AUTO NEXT — when a talk ends the program starts the next one by itself.
- 3 Play — starts the first talk (or resumes the queue).
- 4 Next — ends the current talk and starts the next one.
- 5 Clear all — removes all items from the queue (lectures stay on the list).
- 6 Reset — starts the queue again: all talks go back to Waiting.
- 7 From agenda… — loads the queue from the conference agenda.
- 8 Items — number, title, speaker, time and state.
- 9 Summary — how many talks are finished, total and remaining time.
- 10 Schedule… — automatic start of the queue at a chosen time (next chapter).
2Queue item
- 1 Time of the talk.
- 2 State — ON AIR, next, Waiting or Completed.
- 3 ▲ and 4 ▼ — move the item up / down in the queue.
- 5 ▶ — starts this talk right away.
- 6 × — removes the item from the queue (the lecture stays on the list).
3Adding to the queue
- The window shows lectures that are not in the Timeline yet.
- 1 From conference… — lectures assigned to a conference.
- 2 Select all (next to it: deselect all).
- 3 Check box next to a lecture.
- 4 Add selected — appends the selected lectures to the end of the queue.
4Queue from the agenda
- 1 Conference — choose which agenda to load the sessions from.
- 2 Preview — times, titles and durations of the sessions.
- 3 Load to Timeline — replaces the current Timeline with the agenda sessions.
Result: The conference name and the Refresh from agenda button appear above the queue — it loads changes from the agenda without interrupting the running talk.
5Running the talks
- 1 Current talk — marked ON AIR; the clock counts down its time. Below it: which talk is next.
- 2 Next — the next talk (also available on Stream Deck).
- 3 AUTO NEXT — turn it on if the talks should follow one another without your action.
- 4 Summary — progress of the whole queue.
