Use the Slidecrew Name Screen to display speaker names, moderator names and the presentation title for a conference room.
Short answer: Select Name Screen in the Web App, pair it to your room, and open the top-right hamburger menu to adjust its display. Names appear when a file launches from a Technician or Kiosk App device with Timer Master enabled in the same room. Changes to the display settings apply immediately.
Open the Name Screen for your room
Choose Name Screen on the Web App selection screen and pair it to the room where presentations will run. If you haven’t connected the screen yet, follow How do I set up the Slidecrew Web App?.
The screen initially shows the Style background and room name. A Style supplies the display background used by the screen.
What makes the speaker names appear?
Launching a file from a Technician or Kiosk App device with Timer Master enabled in the same room triggers the Name Screen. Depending on your settings, it shows the presentation title, speakers, moderators or a combination of these.
Adjust what the Name Screen shows
Open the hamburger menu in the top right to change the display; each change takes effect immediately.
