See every screen in the room, and fix one without walking to it

Choose Links on the controller, and Share a screen opens with a card for each screen and a live picture of how that screen looks right now: the Timer for the speaker, the Agenda for the audience, such as a screen at the door, Backstage for the green room (Pro and up), Sponsors for an event's sponsors (Premium and up), and the Controller for the people running the show.

Copy a card's link and open it in the screen's browser: a spare laptop, a tablet, another phone, or a TV's own browser. The screen needs no account and no sign-in. On a phone or a tablet, choose the card instead: its page has a QR code of the link for the device's camera.

The controller's header counts the room's screens open now, out of what the plan allows. Choose the count to open Live connections: every connected screen and controller, grouped by role, each with its number, a green dot, its name, and how long it has been connected. A crown marks the account's admins, and your own connection is marked You.

Every page on the room counts: its Timer, Agenda, and Backstage, your own controller, a moderator's page, and each open board or agenda of the room's event, which counts in every room of the event. Sponsor screens and attendee pages are not counted.

Screens and moderators see nothing of the list.

Each connection's menu has Rename, Show identify overlay, Force reload, and Kick. A paired screen's has Clear what it shows instead of Kick: the TV stays paired, showing its name and Nothing assigned, until an admin chooses what it shows in Screens, and one on the event's board or agenda is changed from Screens only. A board or agenda opened from its link has no menu, since it belongs to the event. Identify shows the screen's number and name over its stage for five seconds, so you know which display in the venue it is. A name you give a screen stays with the device, through reloads and reconnects; a screen with none reads Viewer and a short id, such as Viewer c1ab.

Force reload reloads the screen's page. Kick closes its connection: the page says the operator disconnected it and offers to reconnect, and it stays off until someone asks. Kick all and Force reload all, at the foot of the list, act on every connection but your own, and Kick all leaves paired screens alone.

A prompter's glass or a reflective screen needs the stage mirrored. A Timer screen's row in Live connections has toggles to flip it vertically and mirror it horizontally, and shows the flips it has now, including those set on the screen itself. The screen applies them at once and keeps them across a reload. Agenda and Backstage screens, boards, and controllers have neither.

Or put them in the link: on the Timer's page in Share a screen, tick mirror horizontally, flip vertically, or hide the screen's controls, and its picture and its link follow. A screen opened with that link starts flipped.

Move the pointer over a screen, or tap it, and a toolbar appears in its corner: flip vertically, mirror, picture-in-picture, and fullscreen where the browser offers it. It hides three seconds after the pointer stops, and never flips with the stage. A link made with the screen's controls hidden shows no toolbar.

Picture-in-picture floats the live timer in a small window that stays on top of other windows and keeps running while the page is in the background. It is offered where the browser supports it, Chrome and Edge on a desktop, and nowhere else.

Browsers enter fullscreen only from a tap or a click on the screen itself. So a Timer screen's fullscreen button in Live connections makes the screen show a large Tap for fullscreen button for 60 seconds: one tap from someone at the screen fills it, and the list shows which screens are in fullscreen.

On Pro and up, a room's Settings can set, change, or remove a password for its screens. The room's Timer, Agenda, and Backstage then show a form instead of the room until it is entered: a wrong one is refused, repeated tries are slowed, and a screen that entered the right one keeps working through reloads.

Changing the password signs out every open screen of the room at once, and each asks for the new one; removing it lets them in. Controllers and moderators are never asked, nor an event's board and agenda, nor a TV paired to your account.

A password set on a plan that has them is still asked for after a move to a plan without them, and can always be removed.

How many screens can be open on a room at once depends on the plan: 3 on Starter, 5 on Pro, or up to 50 with more screens, 50 on Premium, or up to 300 with more screens, and 500 on Enterprise. Your own controller is one of them.

A screen that finds its room full says so and tries again every 30 seconds. A room's controller is never refused while no other controller of the room is connected, so you can always get back in to run the show.
