Messages for the speaker
How to send a short note to the speaker’s screen — typed by hand or ready-made.
- What it is for
- Discreet information for the speaker (“5 minutes left”, “Questions, please”) — it appears on their screen and the clock moves up and shrinks.
- Who can use it
- Operator in the program (PRO feature); also from Stream Deck and a phone.
- Where to find it
- Timer tab → Messages and Predefined Messages cards.
1Sending a message
- 1 Text field — Type a message….
- 2 Message colour — white, yellow, red, green.
- 3 aA — switches the text in the field to upper / lower case.
- 4 Clear — removes the message from the speaker’s screen.
- 5 Send — sends the message (or Ctrl+Enter in the field).
2Message on screen
- 1 Message — large, in the chosen colour, in the middle of the speaker’s screen.
- 2 Time — gets smaller and moves up so the message is easy to read.
