Setting Up Live Display

Please note, use of this feature requires the Live Display  power-up.

Like the name suggests, Live Display offers a real time viewing of all the online interaction surrounding an event. All the latest news and information can be displayed on a monitor for attendees to see as they navigate through the venue.

This is commonly used on additional TV Displays and Projector screens at the conference.

This feature can be easily accessible via a unique URL. All you need is a device that can connect to the internet and for you to project it.

Creating Live Display from the Event dashboard

Before opening Live Display from the app you will want to set up Live Display from the Event Dashboard. It is possible to set up multiple displays in the same event. This is ideal if you wish to showcase several different displays in different spots.

  1. From the Event Dashboard, navigate to On-Site > Live Display
  2. Above the Live Display table, select Create
  3. Fill out the Name field
  4. Under Transition Delay, enter the number of seconds before the display transitions to the next page
    1. The screen will always transition to the page on the right.
    2. Optionally, set this value to 0 to prevent the screen from transitioning.
  1. Under Scroll Rate, enter the speed at which the screen scrolls down
    1. We recommend a value between 40 and 80 with 50 being the default. The higher the number, the slower the scroll speed.
  2. Select Save Changes

This page also offers some customization options if needed such as editable primary and secondary colors. Sponsor Image Override and Map Image Override must be used if displaying the Sponsor and Map respectively. We will discuss these as necessary in their sections below.
