Overview #
The display screen feature provides a visually engaging way to present key content to a live audience. It includes dedicated screens for the Activity Feed, Agenda, Gaming, and Sponsors, each screen designed to deliver clear, accessible information in a visually enjoyable way that is fully customisable.
A newly built Surveys section allows real-time interaction, with results displayed dynamically using formats like word clouds and bar charts. Custom branding options and colour themes offer flexibility in how content is presented, making the display screens a powerful tool for live engagement and audience communication.
