Venue Display

The big screen for the room: questions, scores, the join code, and your branding, live and hands-free.

What the Venue Display is

The Venue Display is the projector or TV screen the room watches. It shows whatever you are running: the current question and answer reveal, the leaderboard, a join code and QR code for players, karaoke, tournament brackets, slideshows, polls, and a scrolling ticker. Between activities it rests on a branded welcome screen with a live clock.

You open the display once and leave it. It connects to your venue over a live channel and follows your lead: when you launch or switch an activity from your host controls, the screen changes on its own. No one has to touch the projector during the night.

Open the screen once

The display lives at a public web page tied to your venue, so a projector or smart TV can load it with no login. Open it on the screen at the start of the night and leave it there. It holds its connection and reconnects on its own if the network hiccups, so a brief drop does not mean walking back to the projector.

  1. Open your venue display page on the projector or TV before doors.
  2. Put the browser in full screen so the welcome screen fills the wall.
  3. Leave it alone: it follows what you launch from your host controls all night.

What the screen shows

The display is one screen that changes with the activity. During a trivia game it shows the question, the countdown, the answer reveal, and the leaderboard, plus a join code and QR code so players can jump in. It also drives karaoke, sports pick'em, tournament brackets, slideshows, and audience polls, each with its own layout tuned for a room reading it from across the bar.

When nothing is running, it falls back to your welcome screen: your business name, logo, tagline, and a live clock. That resting state keeps your brand on the wall between rounds instead of a blank screen.

Players join a game by scanning the QR code on the screen or typing the short join code. Keep the projector where the room can read it.

Break mode, tickers, and side activities

Call a break and the screen switches to a break slideshow, with an optional background playlist, and shows an On Break badge over whatever was running. Stop the break and the previous activity comes right back.

The ticker rides on top of the display as a scrolling band at the top or bottom, so promos and scores keep moving while the main content plays. You can also overlay a quick side activity over the current module and pull it back off when it is done.

Make it yours

The display wears your branding. Set your business name, logo, tagline, and colors, and they show on the welcome screen and carry through the night. Pick a skin and the whole display picks up that look, so the screen matches the rest of your venue's presence.

The display page is public on purpose: a projector or TV loads it with no account so you never fight a login on the big screen. It only shows content you push to it.

Control flows from your host screen, not from the projector. You launch, switch, break, and stop from your controls, and the wall follows.

If the network drops, the display reconnects and picks the night back up where it left off, so a short outage does not need a trip to the projector.
