Viewer

The Viewer is a clean, read-only display that shows the active timer alongside an agenda sidebar. It is designed for audience-facing screens and speaker podium monitors, and it opens without signing in.

What the Viewer Shows

The Viewer has two areas: the active timer with its title and speaker name, and an agenda sidebar with every timer in the room. On wide screens the sidebar sits on the right; on narrow screens it moves below the timer.

Use Cases

• Audience-facing screen at the front of the room
• Speaker podium screen showing time remaining and upcoming segments
• Back-of-house display for crew awareness
• Remote speaker view shared via screen share

Opening the Viewer

Copy the Viewer link from Output links (link icon in the Controller header) and open it on any screen. Anyone with the link can open it without signing in. If the room has an output password, the screen asks for it first (see Sharing Rooms).

Timer Display

The time is shown in large, highly readable digits, with the timer title and speaker name above it. The big clock uses the room's Time Format. Two display modes look different here:

• Count Up + Clock shows the current time of day under the elapsed time.
• Hidden shows no time at all; title and speaker stay visible.

Phase Colors

The countdown turns yellow in the wrap-up phase, red in the danger phase and bright red in overtime, like on the Fullscreen and Moderator views. A phase change and the Flash signal make the Viewer flash briefly.

Agenda Sidebar

The sidebar lists all timers in order with their label color, title and planned duration. The active timer is highlighted; all other timers look the same, whether they are done or still to come.

Messages on the Viewer

Cue messages appear on the Viewer only while Show messages on viewer is switched on. You find this button (speech-bubble icon) in the header of the Messages panel in the Controller; it is off by default. The Fullscreen and Moderator views always show the active message.

A live audience question appears at the bottom of the Viewer whether or not messages are switched on. Questions are pushed live from the Controller or the Moderator view.

Focus Mode and Blackout

• Focus Mode (Controller header) replaces the timer with the active message, large and auto-sized to fit. In focus mode the Viewer shows the message even if Show messages on viewer is off.
• Blackout (Controller header, key B in the Controller, or the Operator view) turns the Viewer completely black until you switch it off.

Standby Screen

Until the room is switched On Air, the Viewer shows a black standby screen with the room title instead of the timer.

Display Options (URL Parameters)

Add these parameters to the Viewer link:

• ?mirror=h, v or both — flips the display, for example for a teleprompter.
• ?delay= with 0–3600 seconds — shows the timer as it was that many seconds ago, to match a broadcast delay.
• ?tz= with an IANA time zone such as America/New_York — shows clock times in this time zone instead of the account's.
• ?name= — the device name shown in the connections list.

Combine several parameters with &. See Output Views for where each parameter applies.

Powered by Badge

On the Free and Pro plans, Viewer, Fullscreen and Agenda show a small "Powered by StageTick" badge in the bottom-right corner. Enterprise rooms show no badge. What counts is the plan of the organisation that owns the room, not the plan of the device showing the output. Upgrading to Pro does not remove the badge.
