Messages

Send notices and announcements discreetly to speakers and staff.

What are Messages?

Messages are notices that appear on the Viewer screen, allowing you to communicate with speakers without interrupting the presentation. They're useful for:

Warning that time is ending
Asking to speed up or slow down
Informing about program changes
Giving technical instructions
Notifying about audience questions

Creating Messages

You can create pre-defined messages in the Controller to use quickly during the event. Go to the "Messages" tab and click "+ New Message".

Each room can have several saved messages. You can edit, reorder, and choose which one to display at any time.

Dica

Create standard messages before the event like "5 minutes left", "Wrap up now", "Next slide", etc. This speeds up communication during the event.

Displaying Messages

To display a message in the Viewer:

Go to the "Messages" tab in the Controller
Click the "Show" button next to the desired message
The message will appear in the Viewer
Click "Hide" to remove the message

Importante

Only one message can be displayed at a time. When showing a new message, the previous one is automatically hidden.

Formatting Options

Each message can be customized with the following options:

Option	Description
Color	White, Green, Yellow, or Red
Bold	Makes text bold
Uppercase	Converts text to UPPERCASE
Flash	Makes text blink to get attention

Dynamic Placeholders

Use placeholders to insert dynamic information in messages. Placeholders are automatically replaced when the message is displayed:

Placeholder	Value
$CURRENT_TITLE	Current timer name
$CURRENT_SPEAKER	Current timer speaker
$NEXT_TITLE	Next timer name
$NEXT_SPEAKER	Next timer speaker
$CURRENT_DURATION	Current timer total duration

The message "Next: $NEXT_TITLE with $NEXT_SPEAKER" will be displayed as "Next: Talk 2 with John Smith".

See the complete list of placeholders on the Placeholders Dinâmicos.
