The stage

One clock the speaker can see

On a conference stage, time is shared. The speaker, the MC, and the next session all need the same clock. A phone beside the lectern helps almost nobody.

  • The speaker can see it

    Confidence monitor, side screen, or stage display. Not a phone beside the lectern.

  • The wings run it

    Controller on a laptop, tablet, or phone. Scan the QR on the stage screen.

  • The talk gets a fair warning

    Amber at 3:00 left. Red at 1:00. Fair warning on the monitor.

One screen shows the timer. Another runs the slot.

The slot

A talk and Q&A, already cued

Open the Conference Stage Timer and you already have a slot: the talk, then Q&A. Amber at 3:00 left. Red at 1:00. When Q&A starts, the screen says so.

Open this slot

Make it your slot, then save it

Fifteen plus three is a classic short slot. Keynotes may need longer. Lightning talks may need less. Stretch Q&A, rewrite the thank-you. On Premium, save the version you actually run so the next session starts from a known setup.

Live in three steps

Open a display. Scan. Go.

The wings can run it. Any modern browser. The screens you already have.

  1. 1

    Display on the confidence monitor

    Open Display on the confidence monitor, side screen, or stage screen the speaker can actually see.

  2. 2

    Controller in the wings

    Open Controller on a phone, tablet, or laptop. Scan the QR on the display, or open the link.

  3. 3

    Start when the speaker begins

    The sequence carries the talk, then Q&A. Pause if the room needs a moment.

Setup

Any screen. A scan. You’re in.

Confidence monitor, projector, laptop, or phone. Scan the code on stage, or send a link. Opens in the browser. Anyone can run it.

  • Opens in the browser

    The timer runs in the browser. Confidence monitor, projector, laptop, or phone: if it opens a website, it can run a slot.

  • Scan the code, or send a link

    The stage screen shows a QR code. Scan it from the wings. Or send the link to whoever is on headset.

  • Whoever is on headset can take over

    Send the link. They open it and run the slot.

  • One person runs it. The speaker can see it.

    Put the countdown where the speaker looks. Control it from the wings. Same timer, two jobs.

Questions

Good to know

Do we need an account?
No. Open the Conference Stage Timer and start. Email sign-in is only required to buy Premium and to keep saved templates and History across devices.
Will it work on our confidence monitor or stage screen?
Any device with a modern browser works: phone, tablet, laptop, projector, or TV. The screens you already have.
Can someone in the wings run it?
Open Display on the confidence monitor or stage screen, then scan the QR from a phone, tablet, or laptop in the wings or at the tech desk. Pairing takes seconds. Pause if the room needs a moment, then continue.
Can we add our event logo?
You can put your logo, colours, fonts, and a custom background on the stage and the stream. Premium includes all of that.
What if we have multiple rooms or a stream?
You can run the main stage, overflow, breakout rooms, and stream from the same session. Premium gives you those extra screens.
