Custom teams

The six default teams cover most production roles. But some organizations need more — a translation team running simultaneous interpretation, a welcome crew coordinating ushers, a children's ministry team running a parallel program in another room. Custom teams let you add any team your workflow requires.

When to add a custom team

Add a custom team when you have a group of people who need their own output — their own slice of information that's distinct from what Audio, Video, Lights, Camera, Stage, or Q&A shows. Each custom team gets its own output screen URL, its own color identifier, and its own membership list, just like the defaults.

How to create one

Go to the Teams tab inside the location. If your plan includes custom teams, you'll see a New team button.

Click it and fill in:

• Team name — required. Something descriptive: "Translation", "Welcome Team", "Kids Ministry", "Broadcast".
• Color — pick from 10 color swatches. This color is used to identify the team throughout the interface and on the output screen. You can rename the team and change its color later from the same Teams tab.

Click Create to confirm, or Cancel to discard.

What custom teams can do

A custom team behaves identically to a default team. Members see a cue-based output showing the notes the director has attached to each cue for that team. You can assign team members, promote Team Leads, and configure the output layout.

The one exception is the Q&A team's moderation panel — that's specific to the qa slug and not available on custom teams.

Managing a custom team

From the Teams tab, click on any team to expand its panel. From there you can rename it, change its color, add and remove members, and delete it if you no longer need it. Deleting a custom team removes it permanently and revokes output access for its members.
