Screen Outputs
Screen outputs are display-only pages designed to be shown on confidence monitors, projectors, TVs, LED walls, tablets, and any other screen around your venue. They show countdown timers, messages, session information, and more — all synchronized in real time with your controller. Whether you're running a conference, a live broadcast, a concert, or a company meeting, these screens keep everyone informed.
Speaker
The Speaker screen is a confidence monitor — a display placed where only the speaker can see it, showing their remaining time and any private messages from the operator. Think of it as the speaker's personal countdown clock.
| Best for | Speakers, presenters, panelists — anyone on stage who needs to track their time |
| Where to place it | Floor monitor at the base of the stage, laptop on the lectern, or a teleprompter screen |
| What it shows | Countdown timer (with Time Warp if enabled), session title and speaker name, speaker-only messages, teleprompter script, current time of day, and a progress bar |
If your speaker screen is reflected off teleprompter glass, use the Mirror link option to flip the display horizontally so the text reads correctly.
Audience
The Audience screen is a public-facing display for everyone in the room. It shows the countdown timer, session information, and any messages the operator wants the audience to see.
| Best for | Event attendees, live stream viewers, anyone watching the presentation |
| Where to place it | Large venue screens, projectors, side-stage displays showing close-ups of the speaker, or live stream overlays |
| What it shows | Countdown timer, session title and speaker name, audience-targeted messages, current time of day, and progress bar |
Audience screens only show messages addressed to "audience." If you send a private message to the speaker (like "2 minutes left"), it will not appear on audience screens.
Staff
The Staff screen is a backstage display for your crew. It shows the same timer and session information as other screens, plus internal messages meant only for your team — like "Prepare next speaker" or "Lights cue in 30 seconds."
| Best for | Stage managers, AV technicians, lighting operators, backstage crew |
| Where to place it | Backstage monitors, tech booth screens, green room displays |
| What it shows | Countdown timer, session information, staff-only messages, current time of day, and progress bar |
Staff screens only receive messages addressed to "staff." Neither the audience nor the speaker will see these messages — perfect for sending internal cues during the show.
Per-Screen Feature Differences
While all three screens share core capabilities (timer, messages, effects), some features are exclusive to specific screen types:
| Feature | Speaker | Audience | Staff |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timer display | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Messages | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Teleprompter | ✓ Only | — | — |
| Time Warp (warped countdown) | ✓ Only | — Real time | — Real time |
| Session notes | ✓ | — | ✓ |
| Break session countdown | ✓ | ✓ (opt-in) | ✓ |
| Questions display | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Visual effects | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Different messages can be displayed on different screens simultaneously. For example, you can show "Wrap up" on the speaker screen, "WiFi password" on the audience screen, and "Prepare next speaker" on the staff screen — all at the same time. See the Messages documentation for details.
Agenda
The Agenda screen shows your full event schedule as a list, with times, speaker names, and a visual highlight on whichever session is currently running. It automatically scrolls to keep the active session in view.
| Best for | Event organizers, attendees checking the schedule, registration and lobby areas |
| Where to place it | Lobby screens, info kiosks, registration desks, hallway displays, or embedded on your event website |
| What it shows | Session list with start and end times, durations, speaker names, active session highlighted, and a progress bar for the running session |
Customization Options
The Agenda screen has its own set of customization options beyond the standard link settings:
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Auto-scroll | Keeps the currently running session visible by scrolling automatically |
| Show labels | Displays category labels or tags next to each session (e.g., “Keynote,” “Panel,” “Break”) |
| Show notes | Displays additional notes below each session entry |
| Show times | Shows start and end times alongside each session's duration |
| Typography | Choose a custom font, weight, and text effect (shadow, outline, or glow for readability on bright backgrounds) |
| Colors | Set separate background and text colors for default sessions, the active session, and overtime sessions |
Sponsor Wall
The Sponsor Wall is a dedicated display that showcases your sponsors' logos in a clean grid layout. Logos update in real time when you add or remove sponsors from the event settings — no need to regenerate the link.
| Best for | Showcasing event sponsors and partners |
| Where to place it | Lobby screens, intermission displays, side-stage screens, or embedded on your event website |
| What it shows | Sponsor logos arranged in a responsive grid that adapts to the screen size |
Upload and manage sponsor logos from the Sponsor Wall panel in your controller. Any changes appear on the Sponsor Wall immediately — you don't need to touch the link.
Features Shared by All Screens
Every screen output includes these capabilities out of the box:
- Real-time sync — When you start, pause, or reset a timer, every connected screen updates instantly. No delays, no refresh needed.
- Blackout — Instantly blank any screen with a single click. Blackout can show a solid color, a custom image (like a "We'll be right back" slide), or just the current time of day.
- Flash — Flash all screens three times to visually grab the speaker's attention — for example, when their time is almost up.
- Fully customizable — Change the background, text colors, fonts, timer styling, and aspect ratio for each link independently. Match your event's branding or venue setup.
- Password protection — Add a password to any screen link so only authorized people can view it.
