Live Display

Live Display

The live display is what your audience sees on stage screens. It runs in the browser of the podium device and automatically reflects changes made in the Control Panel.

What Appears on Screen?

Depending on the Control Panel configuration, the display can show:

• Speaker name and title
• Speaker’s company / institution
• Speaker photo
• Background image
• Organization logo (if enabled)

How Updates Work

Podium screens use ETag-based polling to detect changes:

• The screen quietly checks for updates every 5-60 seconds
• If new content is available, it updates automatically
• If nothing changed, no data is downloaded — efficient on bandwidth

Note: There may be a few seconds delay between hitting Publish and the screen updating. For smooth transitions, publish speaker changes slightly before the handover.

Full-Screen Mode

For the best presentation quality, open the podium URL in full-screen mode:

• Windows/Linux: F11
• Mac: Cmd + Ctrl + F
• Chrome kiosk mode (auto full-screen on boot): Ask your IT team to configure --kiosk flag

What Happens if Internet Disconnects?

If the internet connection drops, the screen continues showing the last displayed content. When connectivity is restored, it automatically fetches the latest content from the server.
