Send announcements

Announcements put a message in front of the room — on the displays, and optionally read aloud over the PA.

Write one

Open your event and go to Announcements → Compose. You can write from scratch or start from a template for the things you say every time ("Round 3 begins in five minutes").

Where it goes

• On the displays as an overlay, over whatever they're currently showing.
• Through the PA speakers, spoken aloud, if you turn that on.

Audio settings for the spoken voice live under Announcements → Audio settings.

The queue

Announcements run through a queue you can see live. From there you can promote one to go next, replay one, or cancel it before it airs.

The record

Every announcement is written to an audit log with who sent it and when — useful afterwards, and the reason announcements are an organizer tool rather than something anyone can trigger.
