Send a message
On the controller, open the More menu and choose Flash message. Type what you want to say (or tap a preset), pick how it should look, and send. It appears on every viewer and on the speaker view within the room, then clears itself after the duration you set.
Presets
A set of ready-made cues covers the situations that come up in almost every event, so you can fire one with a single tap instead of typing under pressure:
- Wrap up — and Last question
- Speak up — and Slow down / Speed up
- Check your mic — and Technical issue
- Look at the audience
Selecting a preset fills in sensible text and a suitable on-screen duration, which you can still adjust before sending.
Custom text and duration
Type any message you like, then set how long it stays on screen — anywhere from a brief 1–3 seconds for a quick nudge up to about 30 seconds for something a presenter needs to read and act on. Short cues feel like a tap on the shoulder; longer ones give a speaker time to respond.
Signal colors
A message carries a color so its meaning lands before the words are even read:
- White — neutral information (“5 minutes left”).
- Green — go, you're good, keep the pace.
- Red — stop or urgent (“Wrap up now”).
Following the same convention every show trains presenters to react instinctively to the color.
Emphasis
Two toggles control weight without changing your words:
- Bold — heavier text for a message that must cut through.
- Uppercase — renders the cue in capitals for maximum urgency.
How they appear to presenters
On the viewer
The message overlays the timer on every viewer in the room — large, centered, in the color and weight you chose — then fades on its own so the clock is never hidden for long.
On the speaker view
Rooms also have a dedicated speaker view — a presenter-facing screen with the clock and any incoming cue. It's the screen to put on a confidence monitor so the person on stage sees your messages clearly, separate from what the audience sees.
Keep it short
A cue works because it can be read in a glance from stage. One or two words in a strong color beats a full sentence — save the detail for the debrief.
