The presentor output

The presentor output is a confidence monitor — a screen at the foot of the stage, on a teleprompter stand, or in the speaker's eyeline. It shows what's happening now and what's coming next, without requiring the speaker to look at anyone or ask any questions.

It's intentionally minimal. The director controls what's on it; the speaker just glances and stays oriented.

Three configurable sections

The presentor screen is made up of three independent sections that can each be toggled on or off:

Show Q&A — a pair of question cards showing the question currently being displayed ("Now") and the one queued up ("Next"). Turn this on when you're running a live Q&A segment so the speaker can see which question is coming up before they call on it.

Show cues — the current and next cue cards, using the same shape as team outputs: title, type badge, and timer. Gives the speaker or host visibility into the show flow without needing to look at the director.

Show sidebar — the alerts block and show overview panel on the right. If sidebar is off, any active alert moves to the bottom of the main content area instead.

All three sections default to on.

Configuring the sections

Open room config, go to the Outputs tab, and click the gear icon next to "Presentor". A modal opens with three toggles — Q&A, Cues, and Sidebar. Toggle, save, and the presentor screen updates immediately.

Layout behavior

The layout adapts as sections are toggled:

• Q&A and Cues both on: they share the left content area, stacked vertically.
• Q&A on, Cues off: the Q&A cards take the full content area.
• Sidebar off: the right column disappears, and the content area expands to fill the width. Any active alert appears at the bottom of the screen instead.
• All three off: the screen shows "No content selected by director" — a prompt for someone to open settings and enable at least one section.

What the speaker sees

The presentor output doesn't show team notes — those are crew-facing. What the speaker sees is the cue title, the type, and the timer. That's enough to stay in sync without the speaker needing to understand the show structure in detail.

The Q&A cards show the question text and, if the submitter included their name, their name below the question. Anonymous submissions show nothing in the name slot.
