Setting Up a Podium

Setting Up a Podium

Getting a podium up and running involves two steps: defining it in MeetCue and connecting the physical display device.

Step 1 — Define the Podium in MeetCue

1. Go to Podiums in the left sidebar
2. Click + New Podium
3. Enter the details:
   • Name: A label for this screen (e.g., “Main Hall”, “Lobby Screen”)
   • Orientation: LANDSCAPE or PORTRAIT
   • Location: Optional description
4. Click Save

The podium appears in your list and is assigned a unique URL.

Step 2 — Connect the Display Device

1. Copy the podium URL from the podiums list
2. On the TV or monitor you want to use, open the Chrome browser
3. Paste the URL into the address bar and press Enter
4. The live display interface loads on screen
5. Press F11 for full-screen mode

The screen is now live. When you publish an event from the Control Panel, it will appear on this screen.

Keeping the Screen On

The browser tab must remain open for the podium screen to work. Configure the device to prevent sleep:

• Windows: Power settings → Turn off display: Never
• Android TV: Sleep → Off
• Chrome kiosk mode (auto-launch on boot): Ask your IT team

Multiple Podiums

Repeat these steps for each display screen. Each podium has a unique URL and is managed independently.
