Tips
- Two screens: press Open speaker display, drag the new window to the confidence monitor or projector output, and double-click it for full screen. Keep this page on your screen to run the clock. Both windows have to be in the same browser on the same computer.
- One screen: press Full screen to show the timer as the speaker sees it. Press Esc to get back to the controls.
- Green means time is running, yellow is the warning, and red means wrap up now. When time is up the red light and the numbers flash, and the overtime counts up.
- Keyboard: Space start or pause, R reset, ↑ ↓ add or take away a minute, F full screen, B blank the display, N next cue, P previous cue.
- Cue sheet: Open cue sheet shows the list as a spreadsheet. Switch it to Run during the show so nobody edits a cell by accident. The ⋯ on a row adds a cue above or below, duplicates, flags or moves it, and Columns & view hides, moves and resizes columns for you alone.
- Other devices: on the cue sheet press Share and enter your access code to get links (only you need the code): a cue sheet anyone can follow (view only), one that can edit, the speaker display, and these controls. Those devices follow the show through this website within about a second. Stop sharing turns every link off.
- The timer keeps running if you reload this page. Nothing leaves this browser unless you turn on sharing.
