Get the result right

A quick screen check.

  • To a time stays tied to its target; it does not pause like a duration timer.
  • Check the displayed value before the audience starts a timed activity.

Read the screen from the audience position. Keep the selected content clear, current and useful for the people in the room.

Already have the screen code? Open the controller.
