The display screen

Run meeting on an agenda opens the display screen. Put it on the projector or a shared screen — it’s read-only and follows the meeting on its own; nobody needs to touch it. (Its header links to the control screen, which is what the meeting is driven from.)

With no meeting running, the display shows the plan:

  • The agenda’s title, description, and totals (“8 items · 90 min”).
  • A schedule tableStart | Item | Expected. Start times are computed from the agenda’s scheduled start plus the expected durations of everything before, shown as wall-clock times (19:00, 19:15) in the agenda’s timezone. If the agenda has no start time, they appear as offsets instead: +0:00, +0:15, +1:05.
  • Each row shows the item’s assignee and its sub-item note (“Speaker: 6 min each”). Because sub-item rounds are open-ended, only the item’s own expected time counts toward the schedule.
  • An Estimated end row at the bottom.
  • A list of past runs (newest first) linking to their reports; finished runs can be deleted here (trash icon, with confirmation). A run that is still open can’t be deleted.

The moment someone starts the meeting — from any device — this page flips to the live view by itself.

The live view is built to be readable from the back of the room:

  • A huge timer in the standard colors, with the item title above it and, during a speaker round, a second line like “Speaker 3 — Jane Doe”.
  • A thresholds line under the timer: min 5 · expected 6 · max 7 min (missing thresholds are simply omitted).
  • Between items, the heading is prefixed UP NEXT, the timer shows a muted 00:00, and the thresholds shown are the upcoming item’s — the room always knows what’s coming.
  • The remaining agenda below: the current item highlighted, the rest greyed out, and the next item prefixed with its planned start time — so everyone can see how far ahead or behind the meeting is running.
  • While paused, the timer freezes, turns grey, and shows PAUSED.

If the current (or up-next) item has a URL, a QR code appears next to the timer — always on a white card so it scans in every palette. Hover to see the URL.

Click the QR code to blow it up to a full-screen overlay with the URL printed underneath — big enough for the whole room to scan, perfect for “vote for best speaker” forms. Click again or press Escape to close.

The display navigates to the finished run’s report automatically — the projector ends the evening showing the results.
