Q&A public display

The Q&A public display is what the audience sees on the main projection screen. It has one job: let people know how to submit questions, and make it easy to do so. Between Q&A segments, it shows a branded placeholder you control.

Two states

QR visible — a large, scannable QR code that links to the audience submission form (/q/{token}). Below the code: "Scan to ask a question" and the short URL in text. Anyone with a smartphone camera can scan it and land on the form immediately — no app needed.

QR hidden — your branded placeholder. The director toggles between these two states from the Q&A panel in director view (the Show QR button in the panel header).

Customizing the placeholder

Open room config, go to the Outputs tab, and click the gear icon next to "Q&A Public output". The modal has:

• Text — up to 200 characters, shown as the main message. Default: "Q&A starting soon".
• Background color — preset swatches or a custom hex value.
• Text color — preset swatches or a custom hex value.
• Logo — upload a PNG, JPG, WebP, or SVG (max 200 KB). Replaces the default CueProX logo in the corner.

A live preview in the modal shows what the placeholder will look like at 16:9 aspect ratio before you save.

The QR code

The QR code links to the submission form for this specific room. It's tied to the room's public token (qa_settings.public_token).

If you ever regenerate the room's public token (from room config), the QR code updates automatically on the next page load — the /q/{old-token} URL will stop working, so make sure the new QR is projected before the audience tries to scan.

The submission form

The audience submission form lives at /q/{token}. It's a standalone page — no CueProX account needed, no login prompt. Audience members type their question and optionally add their name, then submit.

Submitted questions appear instantly in the director's Q&A panel under Incoming, waiting for approval or rejection. See the Q&A category of this guide for the full moderation workflow.

Projection setup

The Q&A public display is a browser URL — open it in a browser on whatever device is driving your main projection screen. For most setups:

1. Open /room/{roomId}/output/qa-public in a browser on the projection computer
2. Put the browser in full-screen mode (F11 on most browsers)
3. Leave it open — the director controls the state remotely

The screen stays connected via socket. The director switching between QR and placeholder, or the Q&A state changing, updates the display in real time without any action on the projection computer.
